The question is comparing a weight with a mass. Since the weight of a mass

depends on where the mass is currently located, the kg of mass could weigh

more than 1 ton in some places and less than 1 ton in other places.

On Earth, 1 kg of mass weighs 2.205 pounds. That's only 0.0011 ton.

On Jupiter, 1 kg of mass weighs 5.85 pounds. That's 0.0029 ton.

On the Sun, 1 kg of mass weighs 61.8 pounds. That's 0.031 ton.

We can see that it would have to be an awfully massive body for 1 kg of mass

to weigh a ton on its surface, but it could be done.

Until we start sending spacecraft to bodies like that, in all other places, 1 ton is

a greater weight than the weight of 1 kg of mass.

A tonne is 1,000 times heavier than one kg (kilogram).
