What does one kiloton (metric) represent in mass?

One kiloton (metric) represents a mass equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms.

Why would I convert kilotons to exagrams?

Converting kilotons to exagrams helps represent extremely large masses, such as planetary-scale materials or astronomical objects, in a more compact form.

Are kilotons always a measure of mass?

In general, kilotons measure mass but when used in explosives or nuclear weapons contexts, it can refer to an energy equivalent rather than mass.
