megagram
One thousand kilograms
A megagram is one million grams, or one metric ton (1,000 kilograms).
The term appears in scientific and technical contexts where SI unit prefixes are preferred over informal equivalents: Carbon emissions are measured in megagrams per hectare.
In everyday use, "metric ton" or "tonne" is far more common.
