Yes, in the International System of Units (SI), the capital letter "K" is the symbol for kilo, which represents a factor of one thousand. Therefore, when you see a unit with a prefix of "kilo" (such as kilogram or kilometer), it means that the unit is equal to one thousand of the base unit (gram or meter, respectively).

Yes and no. The lower case "k" is used for thousands in the SI system. It is is short for kilo, as in kilogram (1,000 grams) or kilometer (1,000 meters). However many use capital K's in the same manner even though it is not technically corect/
