About the kilogram and the milligram

The kilogram

The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass. Since the 2019 redefinition it is defined by fixing the Planck constant to exactly 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s, replacing the old International Prototype Kilogram artifact. In everyday use, the kilogram is the global standard for body weight, groceries, and engineering specifications.

The milligram

The milligram (mg) equals one-thousandth of a gram, or one-millionth of a kilogram. It is the standard unit for drug dosages on pharmaceutical labels, vitamin and supplement content, and fine laboratory measurements where a gram would be too coarse.
