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).
