Understanding Kilograms and Pounds

What is a Kilogram?

The kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). Originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water at its melting point, it is now defined by the Planck constant. The kilogram is used worldwide for scientific, commercial, and everyday measurements of mass.

What is a Pound?

The pound (lb) is a unit of mass used in the imperial system, primarily in the United States and UK. The international avoirdupois pound is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. One pound equals 16 ounces or approximately 453.592 grams.
