Weight (strictly mass in physics) tells you how heavy something is. Kitchen recipes, gym programs, shipping labels, and medical dosages all use different units — grams and kilograms in metric countries, pounds and ounces in the US and UK.
Most everyday weight conversions use a simple multiplier. One pound equals exactly 0.453592 kilograms. Our tools use internationally recognized factors, including avoirdupois ounces and pounds used in commerce.
