About Kilograms
The kilogram is the base unit of mass in the SI system. Until 2019, it was defined by a physical platinum-iridium cylinder stored in France. It is now defined by the Planck constant.
Real-World Examples
- A liter of water weighs exactly 1 kilogram
- The average adult human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms
- A standard bag of sugar in most countries is 1 kilogram
💡 Did you know? In 2019, the kilogram was redefined based on the Planck constant rather than a physical artifact, making it the last SI base unit to be defined by a fundamental constant of nature.
About Ounces
The ounce is an imperial unit of mass equal to one-sixteenth of a pound. It is commonly used in the United States for food packaging, postal weights, and precious metal measurements.
Real-World Examples
- A slice of bread typically weighs about 1 ounce
- A standard can of soda contains 12 fluid ounces
- Gold is traded globally at a price per troy ounce (31.1 grams)
💡 Did you know? There are actually two types of ounces: the avoirdupois ounce (28.35g, used for everyday items) and the troy ounce (31.10g, used for precious metals). One troy ounce is about 10% heavier.
