On Earth, 1 kilogram of mass weighs 2.205 pounds, so the kilogram is
120.5% heavier than 1 pound.
On the Moon, the same kilogram of mass weighs 5.838 ounces, so 1 pound is
174% heavier than the kilogram.
So you see, it all depends on where you are.
I hear you. You want to say that "1 kilogram of mass just weighs a kilogram".
Well, maybe you can get away with that on Earth. But if you should ever take it
to the moon, then you'll have a kilogram that weighs 0.165 kilogram, and that's
guaranteed to confuse a lot of people, and possibly even bring your space flight
to disaster. That's why we have to start being more careful about mass and
weight, in this modern space age of ours.
