What is a kilogram?

The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass. Since 2019 it has been defined from the Planck constant rather than from a metal cylinder kept near Paris. Most countries use it for body weight, luggage allowances and groceries; one kilogram is about 2.2 pounds.

What is a gram?

The gram is one thousandth of a kilogram, roughly the mass of a paper clip. It is the unit of kitchen scales and recipes outside the US, of nutrition labels (protein, fat and sugar per serving) and of postage for small parcels.
