Pound

A pound (lbs) is a unit of weight or mass commonly used in the United States and other countries that do not use the metric system. It is part of the Imperial system and is widely used for measuring body weight, food, and other goods in everyday life.

The pound is defined as 0.45359237 kilograms in the International System of Units (SI). It is also commonly used in both the avoirdupois system (for general weight) and the troy system (used for measuring precious metals like gold).

For reference:

• 1 pound = 16 ounces

• 1 pound ≈ 0.4536 kilograms

• 1 pound ≈ 453.6 grams

In countries like the United States, pounds are typically used for expressing body weight, as well as for goods like food, luggage, and postal services. Although most countries use kilograms for mass measurement, pounds remain prevalent in many everyday situations.

Kilogram

A kilogram (kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is widely used around the world for measuring weight and mass, from everyday objects to scientific calculations.

Originally defined as the mass of one liter of water, the kilogram is now precisely defined using fundamental physical constants. It is the standard unit for measuring body weight, food products, industrial goods, and scientific research.

For reference:

• 1 kilogram = 1000 grams

• 1 kilogram ≈ 2.20462 pounds

• 1 kilogram ≈ 35.274 ounces

Whether you’re tracking your weight, measuring ingredients, or calculating shipping costs, kilograms are the most commonly used unit of mass in most countries, except for a few like the United States, where pounds are more common.
