It is the only SI base unit that employs a prefix [1], and the only SI unit that is still defined in relation to an artifact rather than to a fundamental physical property. A kilogram is equivalent to 2.205 avoirdupois pounds in the United States customary system that is still used in the United States, although usage is officially discouraged and the metric system is the preferred system of use.

A kilogram is equivalent to 2.205 avoirdupois pounds in the United States customary system that is still used in the United States, although usage is officially discouraged and the metric system is the preferred system of use.
- The kilogram is the only SI base unit with an SI prefix ("kilo", symbol "k") as part of its name, except the kilometre which is a distance, and the kilo, which is how much something weighs. High-school physics students struggle to figure out why the kilogram is the "base" unit and not the gram that it is based on. The kilogram is also the only SI unit still defined by an artifact that has to be borrowed, rather than a physical property that could be reproduced in different laboratories, except the artifact neither weighs a kilo nor is 1 kg in mass.
- A kilogram was a measure of mass.
- A kilogram is a unit of weight equal to 1000 grams. It is equal to 2.2 pounds.
- A kilogram (kg) is a unit of measure of mass in the metric system.
- It is the only SI base unit that employs a prefix [1], and the only SI unit that is still defined in relation to an artifact rather than to a fundamental physical property. A kilogram is equivalent to 2.205 avoirdupois Avoirdupois pounds in the United States customary system that is still used in the United States, although usage is officially discouraged and the metric system is the preferred system of use.
- Kilogram (kg) is a Unit of Weight.
* 1000 g (Gram) = 1 kg
* 1000 kg = 1 Tonne (T)
* 2.2 lb (pounds) = 1 kg
