No. "Pound" is a unit of force, and "kg" is a unit of mass, so they can't ever be 'equal'.

But we can talk about the weight of 1 kg of mass. When we do that, we have to

be careful to specify what place we're talking about, because the same mass has

different weights in different places.

The number in your question, " 2.2 ", is a useful number, but you're using it backwards.

When you weigh 1 kilogram of mass on Earth, it weighs about 2.205 pounds.

Again, it's important to understand that this number only works on Earth.

On the moon, for example, the same 1 kg weighs about 0.365 of a pound.
