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

Why use the talent unit for conversion?

The talent is an ancient unit used to measure large masses, especially precious metals, in biblical and classical contexts, helping translate historical data into modern terms.

Is the conversion exact?

No, the conversion is an approximation because the talent’s exact value varied historically and geographically.
