What is a mina (Biblical Hebrew)?

It is an ancient unit of mass used in Biblical Hebrew texts, commonly estimated around 0.5 to 1.0 kilograms, traditionally used to weigh precious metals and goods.

What does one gigagram represent?

One gigagram (Gg) equals one billion grams or one million kilograms, commonly used for expressing very large masses in engineering and environmental reporting.

Why are converted values often very small?

Because the mina is a relatively small mass unit compared to the gigagram, the resulting converted values tend to be very small numbers.
