The kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams. It is the SI unit for mass, meaning it is compatible with other SI units in physics equations. It is sometimes called a "kilo" for short when it comes to measuring a human's mass. It is defined by setting the Planck's constant to $6.62607015 \cdot 10^{-34} \text{J} \cdot \text{s}$, given the definition of the meter and the second. This article is a stub.
