About Metric Mass Units
The metric system is an internationally recognized decimal system of measurement that uses the kilogram (kg) as its base unit of mass. All other metric mass units are derived from the kilogram using powers of ten.
Key features: The metric system is based on decimal multiples and submultiples, making conversions between units straightforward by moving the decimal point. The system is used worldwide in scientific, medical, and most industrial applications.
Fun fact: The kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one liter of water. Today, it's defined by the Planck constant, a fundamental constant of nature.
