Best Answer

The international unit for mass is the kilogram. 1000 kilograms = 1 ton (metric ton, to avoid confusions); 1/1000 of a kilogram is a gram. Smaller units include the microgram and the nanogram.

Non-standard units include the pound, the Atomic Mass unit, and the electron-volt (an energy unit; this really means electron-volt / c2). In astronomy, multiples of the mass of our Earth or our Sun are also used, especially for comparisons. For example, the black hole at the center of our galaxy is said to have 4 million solar masses - i.e., 4 million times the mass of our Sun.

What type of units do you use to find an object mass?

Units can't be used to find an object's mass. To do that, you need equipment such as a scale or beam balance. Once you have found the object's mass, you use units to describe it, and to tell other people about it. There are several units of mass currently in use. Some of them are: -- kilogram -- gram -- milligram -- microgram -- nanogram -- metric ton -- pound-mass -- slug
