One megaton(mt) is the equivalent of 1,000,000 tons (factor:106). A megaton is therefore a unit of measurement for particularly heavy weights or masses. It lies exactly in the middle between the kiloton (1,000 tons or103) and the gigaton (1,000,000,000 tons or109).

The conversion of tons to megatons is a fundamental concept in science, especially in physics and earth science. Both are units for measuring mass.

One ton is equal to 1,000 kilograms. 'Mega' is a prefix in the International System of Units (SI) and means one million (10^6). Therefore, one megaton is equal to one million tons.

To convert tons to megatons, divide the number of tons by one million. For example, if you have 2,000,000 tons and want to know how many megatons that is, you would divide 2,000,000 by 1,000,000 to get 2 megatons.

It is important to note that this conversion is based on the decimal system, which is used in most scientific and everyday contexts. In contrast, the conversion of units in computer technology is usually based on the binary system, as in the example of kilobytes to megabytes.
