What does one nanogram represent in mass terms?

One nanogram is a unit of mass equal to one billionth of a gram, used to measure extremely small masses.

How many kilograms are in one metric ton?

One metric ton equals exactly 1,000 kilograms.

Why might converting from nanograms to metric tons result in very small numbers?

Because a nanogram is extremely small and a metric ton is very large, conversions yield values with very small magnitudes.
