A gigagram (Gg) is a unit of mass equal to one billion grams, or one thousand metric tonnes, typically used for very large masses.

What is the mina (Biblical Hebrew)?

The mina is an ancient Near Eastern mass unit used in Biblical times, with a mass varying regionally but estimated around 0.5 to 1 kilogram.

Why do conversion results vary?

Conversion varies because the mina's weight differed across regions and eras; modern values are estimates, so results are approximate.
