A [[ton]] (or '''megagram''') is a [[unit]] of [[mass]] which is 1000 times greater than the [[SI Unit]] for [[mass]], the [[kilogram]].

===About Tons===
: A [[ton]] is the same as a '''megagram''' which is shortened to an upper case M with a lower case g '''Mg'''.
: A [[ton]] is 103 [[kilogram]]s.
: [[Ton]]s are usually used to describe [[vehicle]]s or large [[animal]]s.
