Tonne

A tonne is like a really, really big weight that people use to measure how heavy something is. It's a number that tells you how many small things you would need to put together to make something super heavy. One tonne is equal to 1,000 kilograms, which is like having 1,000 big bags of sugar all put together.

When people talk about tonnes, they are usually talking about things that are too heavy to pick up and carry around like elephants, cars, or even big ships! Imagine trying to pick up something that's as heavy as your whole house - that's how heavy some things might be in tonnes.

So, tonne is just a way for people to talk about how heavy things are without having to count how many bags of sugar they would need to put together to make something super heavy!
