No. Its not. Not by far.

To four significant digits, conversion ratios are as followed:
0.4536 kilograms = 1 pound
2.204 pounds = 1 kilogram

Now, there are three different kinds of tons you could be referring to.
The Short Ton: 2000 US pounds
The Long Ton: 2240 US pounds
The Metric Ton: 1000 Kilograms = 2204 pounds

1 Kilogram is obviously only about twice the weight of 1 pound (based on the first set of conversion ratios)
1 pound is obviously smaller than 1 ton (based on the second set of conversion ratios) by far more than twice.
