It's a matter of scale more than anything. Outside of chemistry and related fields, once you get beyond a few kilograms, determining an object's mass down to the gram is overkill (and usually beyond the sensitivity of whatever device is doing the weighing).
gram or g stands for gram.
a gram
The base unit of mass is the kilogram.
The basic unit of mass in the metric system is the gram (g), which is defined as one thousandth of a kilogram. Thus, 1 gram is equal to 0.001 kilograms. The gram is commonly used for measuring small quantities of mass, such as food ingredients and laboratory samples.
No, a milligram is not the same as a gram. A milligram (mg) is one-thousandth of a gram (g), meaning that 1 gram equals 1,000 milligrams. This makes milligrams a smaller unit of measurement than grams, commonly used for measuring small quantities, such as medications or nutrients.

weight or mass. A microgram is one millionth of a gram, whereas a milligram is one thousandth of a gram. They are commonly used to measure small quantities of substances, such as medications or chemicals.
It depends what you're measuring.
