What is an Ounce?
The ounce here is the avoirdupois ounce, one sixteenth of a pound, and the qualifier matters. The troy ounce used to price gold and silver is noticeably heavier, so a "one ounce" gold coin is not an ounce of anything else — a confusion that has cost people real money. Muddier still is the fluid ounce, which measures volume rather than mass and differs between the US and the UK. The name comes from the Latin uncia, a twelfth part: it was a twelfth of the Roman libra, and the move to sixteen ounces to the pound came later.
What is a Metric Ton?
A metric ton — spelled tonne almost everywhere outside the United States — is 1,000 kilograms. It is not strictly an SI unit, though SI accepts it for use alongside them; the coherent name would be the megagram, which essentially nobody says out loud. The real hazard is the bare word "ton", because a US short ton of 2,000 pounds and a British long ton of 2,240 pounds are different quantities again, and all three are close enough that a careless figure can pass unchallenged. It is the unit of freight, steel, harvests and carbon dioxide emissions.
To put both in perspective: a slice of sandwich bread weighs about an ounce, while a small car weighs about 1.5 metric tons.
