Hyphenation: kil‧o‧gram

Noun[edit]

kilogram (plural kilograms)

In the International System of Units, the base unit of mass; conceived of as the mass of one litre of water, but now defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant $h$ to be 6.626 070 15 × 10^-34 when expressed in units of kg⋅m²⋅s⁻¹. Symbol: kg
(proscribed) The unit of weight such that a one-kilogram mass is also a one-kilogram weight.

Usage notes[edit]

(proscribed, unit of weight): The use of the kilogram as a unit of weight is somewhat imprecise, as weight can change while mass remains constant. The weight of a one-kilogram mass will depend on its location because the pull of gravity varies from one place to another. It is therefore frequently proscribed but is nonetheless in wide use (e.g., a person's weight in kilograms). (The same imprecision and proscription also occur with many other words pertaining to weight and mass, such as the verb weigh.)
Whilst one kilogram equals 1,000 grams, it is the kilogram and not the gram that is the base unit.

Synonyms[edit]
