  • Understanding Units of Mass: Kilograms, Grams, and More
    Mass is measured in kilograms (kg).

    Here are some other units of mass:

    * Gram (g): A smaller unit of mass, 1000 grams equal 1 kilogram.

    * Milligram (mg): An even smaller unit of mass, 1000 milligrams equal 1 gram.

    * Tonne (t): A larger unit of mass, 1 tonne equals 1000 kilograms.

    The specific unit used will depend on the object being measured. For example, you would use kilograms to measure the mass of a person, grams to measure the mass of a piece of fruit, and milligrams to measure the mass of a medicine tablet.
