What do we use to measure weights nowadays?

In our daily lives, we commonly measure weights using grams (g) and kilograms (kg). One gram is approximately the weight of a Skittle candy, while one kilogram is roughly the weight of a large dictionary. To convert between these two units, remember that 1 kilogram equals 1000 grams. To convert kilograms to grams, simply multiply by 1000. Conversely, to convert grams to kilograms, divide by 1000. For decimal values, maintain the decimal point during conversion. This guide simplifies the measuring process to make it hassle-free!
