Kilogram (kg)

It's not the SI unit of mass in the metric system however.

Cornelius · Answer 2

The correct answer is gram (g).

Explanation:

The metric system uses grams (g) as the fundamental unit of measurement of mass. This system applies the idea that units increase and decrease by a power of 10. This means that a kilogram (kg) is 1000 times heavier than a gram (g), and a gram is 1000 times heavier than a milligram (mg).

Have a nice day!
