A teragram (Tg) is a metric mass unit equal to one trillion grams, used to express very large masses like national carbon emissions.

What is a grain and where is it used?

A grain (gr) is a traditional mass unit equal to 64.79891 milligrams, commonly used for bullet weights, archery arrows, and historical pharmaceuticals.

Why convert from teragrams to grains?

This conversion helps relate very large mass measurements to smaller, traditional units for niche uses such as ballistics or legacy pharmaceutical data.
