What is a Planck mass?

The Planck mass is a fundamental mass scale in physics, representing when quantum gravitational effects become significant.

What does kiloton (metric) measure?

Kiloton (metric) is a mass unit equal to 1,000 metric tons or 1,000,000 kilograms, used for very large masses.

Can kiloton refer to energy?

Yes, in some contexts kiloton refers to energy equivalent of TNT, so specifying mass units is important.
