Pounds

šŸ“– 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.


šŸ’” 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".

Tons

In the US, a ton is equal to 2,000 pounds, while in the UK, it can refer to either 2,000 or 2,240 pounds. It is commonly used to measure the weight of heavy objects, such as vehicles or machinery.
