About weight units

The unit of mass in the SI system is denoted by the symbol kg (kilogram). It is defined by the fixed numerical value of Planck's constant h, which is 6.62607015 × 10-34, expressed in the unit J s, which is equal to kg m2 s-1.

The SI unit of mass is the only unit that begins with the prefix kg.

It is also worth mentioning that on 20 May 2019, the standard of 1 kg was a cylinder with a base diameter of 39 mm, made of a platinum and iridium alloy. It was kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Sevres, near Paris.
