I came across a term called 'gigaton GT' and I'm not sure what it means. I've heard of gigabyte before, which is a measure of data storage, so I'm wondering if gigaton is a similar concept, just applied to a different context. Can someone explain what gigaton GT is and how it's used?

For instance, it may be used to discuss the mass of large objects such as asteroids or the amount of carbon dioxide emissions.
