Weight vs mass, and which units where
Strictly, kilograms measure mass, but in everyday life “weight” in kg is fine. The US uses pounds and ounces; the UK often gives body weight in stones and pounds; India and most other countries use kilograms and grams. A US “ton” is 2,000 lb (907 kg), while a metric tonne is 1,000 kg, which matters for shipping and vehicle weights.
Kitchen tips
- A US cup of flour weighs about 120 to 125 g; a cup of sugar about 200 g. Cups measure volume, so the weight depends on the ingredient.
- Baggage limits: 23 kg is about 50.7 lb, the usual checked-bag limit on many airlines.
For body measurements, also try the BMI calculator and the length converter.
