A kilogram is a unit of mass defined by the International System of Units (SI) as the mass of a specific platinum-iridium alloy cylinder called the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK). Any object with the same mass as the IPK, which is precisely equal to one kilogram, would have the same mass as a kilogram. This definition ensures consistency and accuracy in measurements of mass worldwide.
