Understanding Grams and Ounces
What is a Gram?
The gram (g) is the base unit of mass in the metric system, equal to one-thousandth of a kilogram. It was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at 4°C. Today, grams are used worldwide for scientific measurements, food labeling, and everyday weight measurements.
What is an Ounce?
The ounce (oz) is a unit of mass in the imperial and US customary systems. The avoirdupois ounce, used for most everyday measurements, equals exactly 28.349523125 grams. Note that there is also the troy ounce (31.1035 g), used for precious metals, which is different from the avoirdupois ounce used in this converter.
