[edit]

A very good example of this unit would be the meteor impact that killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

From a quick search online, the energy of the explosion was 100 teratons.

This would obviously be 100 million megatons.

I couldn't find a good scientific explanation of how this number was determined, though.

I agree. Stating the size of a rock weighing a teraton would also illustrate the mass well. Muad (talk) 04:27, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
