Kilograms unit in Weight

The kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is widely used around the world in science, industry, and commerce. The kilogram is currently defined based on the Planck constant, which ensures precise and stable mass measurements. As the standard unit for mass, the kilogram is crucial in a wide array of applications, from weighing groceries to conducting high-precision scientific research.

Metric Tons unit in Weight

The ton is a unit of mass used to measure large quantities, commonly in industry, shipping, and construction. There are different types of tons, including the metric ton (1,000 kilograms), the short ton (2,000 pounds), and the long ton (2,240 pounds). Each version of the ton is used in specific contexts depending on regional measurement systems, making it a crucial unit for large-scale mass measurement globally.
