Kilograms

📖 A kilogram is a metric unit of mass that is equal to 1000 grams or approximately the weight of a liter of water. It is commonly used to measure the weight of people, animals, and large objects.

💡 The kilogram is the only SI base unit that is still defined by a physical artifact, a platinum-iridium cylinder called the International Prototype of the Kilogram. However, this definition is set to change in 2019 with the redefinition of the kilogram based on fundamental constants.

Pounds

📖 A pound is a unit of mass that is equal to 16 ounces or approximately the weight of a small watermelon. It is commonly used to measure the weight of people, animals, and large objects.

💡 The pound was originally defined in ancient Rome as the weight of 12 bronze coins called "unciae." This is where the symbol "lb" for pound comes from, as it is an abbreviation of the Latin word "libra," which means "scale" or "balance".
