1,000 grams is one kilogram in the International System of Units (SI). The kilo prefix means one thousand, so a thousand grams is a kilogram. Originally defined as the mass of a cubic decimeter (liter) of water, the kilogram is today standadized as the mass of a platinum-iridium international prototype kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (Bureau International des Poids et Mesure, near Paris, France). A one-kilogram mass has an Earth weight of about 2.2 pounds.
