Weight Conversion Information
Weight and mass are fundamental measurements used in everyday life, science, and commerce. Different regions of the world use different weight systems:
- Metric System: Used internationally, based on kilograms and grams.
- Imperial/US System: Common in the US and some other countries, using pounds, ounces, and tons.
- Stone: Still commonly used in the UK and Ireland for body weight.
Technically, we're converting mass units, not weight. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object.
