There are exactly 1000 kg (kilograms) in 1 metric tonne  

 

 Whales can be the
mass of 1 t
(spelled 1 tonne)

     Each railcar can carry about 42 t
(spelled 42 tonnes)

A large ship can be as heavy as the mass
of
100 000 t
(spelled tonnes)
when filled to capacity.


Smaller Measurement from a  tonne 

1 kilogram
(1 kg)

A thousand grams (1000 g)
is the mass of 1 kg (1 kilogram).
And 1 kilogram is simply
written 1 kg
which is pronounced
"killo-gram" NOT "killau-gram".

 Smaller Measurement from a  kilogram

1gram
(1 g)

Remember that kilo is the prefix
meaning 1000 times,
which only says that there are
1000 g (grams) in 1 kg (kilogram)
and we simply write 1 g to represent
the mass of 1 gram.

Smaller Measurement from a gram

1 milligram
    (1 mg)

milli is the prefix meaning
1 one thousandth (0.001).
So, 1 one thousandth from the
unit of measurement gram
being 1 milligram, is
simply written 1 mg.
