\begin{definition}[Definition:Density (Physics)/Units]
* The SI units of '''density''' are $\mathrm {kg} \, \mathrm m^{-3}$ (kilograms per cubic metre).
* The CGS units of '''density''' are $\mathrm g \, \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$ or, less formally: $\mathrm g / \mathrm {cc}$ (grams per cubic centimetre).
Thus:
:$1 \, \mathrm g \, \mathrm {cm}^{-3} = 1000 \, \mathrm {kg} \, \mathrm m^{-3}$
