Mass is considered a fundamental parameter used in physics, chemistry and even in everyday life. Mass is considered a measure of an object's inertia and gravity. In this article, we discuss the commonly used units of mass around the world.
From commonly accepted grams and kilograms to more specialized units like Planck mass and electron volt, we discuss the different scales and applications that define our understanding of mass.
Let's discuss units of mass.
Grams (g):
The gram is a basic unit of mass in the metric system and is equal to one thousandth of a kilogram. It is often used to measure small amounts of material.
Kilogram (kg):
The kilogram is the basic unit of mass in the metric system. It is defined as the mass of the international prototype kilogram and is commonly used for daily measurements.
Milligrams (mg):
The milligram is equivalent to one thousandth of a gram and is often used in pharmacy and chemistry to accurately measure small quantities.
