About the Units
The short ton is a macroscopic unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds, used for heavy objects like cars or coal. The atomic mass unit (u or Da) is used to measure the mass of atoms and molecules. Converting between them bridges the gap between the everyday world and the atomic scale, resulting in incredibly large numbers.
