cool
The prefix yocto- is used to multiply the coefficient 10^-24 to the value of a physical quantity, so 1 yoctogram equals 1 * 10^-24 grams.

True. And as a yoctogramme is of the same order as the weight of an atom and as a yottagramme is very, very large, perhaps they'll stop coining new prefixes for a while.

Re: tons and tonnes
Now now peeps.... I can understand why you might think a yoctogramme is interesting but please keep this on topic This thread is about discussing the conversion between Tons and Kilos and all fun related to that measurement.
