in the mks (SI) metric, the base unit is kilogram. in the cgs metric system, the base unit is gram. There are many prefixes that can be added to gram to determine the magnitude in power of ten. See related link for a list of prefixes.
Right, and don't forget the tonne. Though equivalent to 1 megagram or 1000 kg the word tonne is commonly used.

∙ 13y agoThe proper unit of weight in the metric system is the newton, which is a unit of force. However, given constant gravity, the weight of an object is in direct proportion to its mass. Therefore weight is usually measured in kilograms, a unit of mass, when using the metric system.

∙ 11y agowell of mass is weight than it is gram if that's what your asking i'm only 9

∙ 9y agoWeight in the metric system is a function of gravitational acceleration, and is considered force, so the unit is in Newtons. Mass is measured in grams or kilograms.
