Mass or Weight?

Mass means how much matter is in an object. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on that object.

For example, your body mass is the same on earth, on moon or on Jupiter but if you weigh 100 kilograms on earth, you weigh 16.6 kilograms on the moon and 236.4 kilograms on Jupiter because their gravities are different than earth.

Metric Mass Units

Because the metric system is a decimal system, all other metric mass units are either the fractions or the multiples of kilogram. The most frequently used metric mass units are kilogram (kg), gram (g) and milligram (mg).

The base unit of mass in the metric system is kilogram.

Here is the weight conversion factors list from kilogram to other common mass/weight units:

• 1000 grams
• 1000000 milligrams
• 35.273962 ounces
• 2.204623 pounds
