kg redirects here. For other uses, see KG. The kilogram or kilogramme (SI unit symbol: kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI) (the Metric system) and is defined as being equal to the mass of the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK, also known as Le Grand K or Big K).
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams. A dictionary has a mass of about one kilogram. Kilograms are great for measuring things that can be lifted by people (sometimes very strong people are needed of course!). Kilograms are often written as kg (that is a k for kilo and a g for gram), so 10 kg means 10 kilograms. Scales measure our weight using kilograms.
