Mass and weight Remember that mass is measured in kilograms, kg, and weight is measured in newtons, N. The mass of an object stays the same wherever it is, but its weight can change. This happens if the object goes somewhere where gravity is stronger, or weaker, such as the Moon.
kg * 2.2046 Pounds The pound is a measurement of mass used in the imperial system, and is accepted on a day-to-day basis as a unit of weight (the gravitational force acting on any given object).
