mega roughly means million, so 1 megaton = 1 million tons. "Mega" means one million, ie 1 followed by six zeros. So a megaton means one million tons.
"Mega" means one million, ie 1 followed by six zeros. So a megaton means one million tons.
1 million tons = 2 billion pounds or more commonly used as a measure of energy release in a nuclear bomb 4.184 petajoules

A megaton bomb is more damaging than an atomic bomb because it has a much higher explosive yield. A megaton bomb releases energy equivalent to the detonation of one million tons of TNT, while an atomic bomb typically releases energy equivalent to the detonation of thousands of tons of TNT.
There are 4.25 pounds in 4.25 pounds.
The largest megaton bomb ever detonated was the Soviet Union's Tsar Bomba in 1961, with a yield of about 50 megatons. It was the most powerful nuclear weapon ever created and tested.
Well, mega means a million, so one megaton is basically a million pounds.
A megaton is one million tons (2,000,000,000 pounds).
In the metric system, the prefix "mega-" denotes a factor of 1,000,000. Therefore, a megaton is equivalent to one million tons. Since a ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, a megaton is equal to 2 billion pounds. The number of zeros in a megaton is determined by the number of zeros in the numerical value of 2 billion, which is nine zeros.
Megaton and ton are different things: megaton is a unit of enery; ton a unit of weight. A megaton is the energy released from detonation of TNT. A ton is 2,000 pounds.

1 ton = 2,000 pounds1 megaton = 1 million tons = 2,000,000,000 poundsOn Earth only, anything that weighs 2,000,000,000 pounds has 907,186,000 kg of mass. (rounded)

1 megaton TNT = 4.184 petajoules ( 4.184 x 1015 J )
There are 1,000 kilotons in 1 megaton. The metric "kiloton" refers to a weight equivalent to 1,000 tons, while "megaton" refers to 1,000,000 tons. Therefore, 1 megaton is simply 1,000 times larger than 1 kiloton.
A megaton is one million tons. A metric ton (or tonne) is about 2200 lbs. A ton is 2000 lbs. Multiply 1,000,000 times 2000, ten divide by 2200, and you will get about 907,184.74 metric tons in a megaton.
Megaton Shotblast was created in 2001.
