Unit Information

Milligram
/ˈmɪlɪɡram/
Symbol: mg
Unit System: SI

What is the Milligram?

The milligram is a unit of mass (acceptable for use as weight on Earth) and is a submultiple of an SI base unit with the symbol mg.

1 milligram is equal to 0.001 g or 1/1000 g (one thousandth of a gram).

There exists 2 submultiples between mg and g - namely the decigram and the centigram but these are not commonly used in everyday life. The milligram is commonly used when expressing parts of a gram; especially in medicine applications.

A mosquito weighs about 2.5 mg, as does a grain of sand.

Microgram
/ˈmʌɪkrə(ʊ)ɡram/
Symbol: µg
Unit System: SI

What is the Microgram?

The microgram is a unit of mass (acceptable for use as weight on Earth) and is a submultiple of an SI base unit with the symbol μg.

1 microgram is equal to 0.000001 or 1/1000000 g (one millionth of a gram).

The symbol μg is avoided in medical practises / applications because there is a chance the 'μ' could be misread as an 'm'; resulting in mg being interpreted rather than μg - which could lead to a 1000x overdose.
