That is the definition of a gram in the metric system. It was decided when the system was devised. All measurement systems have roots. At least the metric system makes sense, tying in measurements of weight and length. It is a standard, thought up in advance, unlike the haphazard English system. Just think. How big is an ounce of water? It would be great if the number was as easy to remember as 1.

One cubic centimeter (or one milliliter) of water weighs one (1) gram. One cubic centimeter of deuterium oxide, also known as "heavy water," weighs 1.106 grams.
To convert 1 cubic meter to 1 ton, you need to know the density of the material. The density of the material will determine the mass (weight) of the 1 cubic meter. Once you have the density, you can use the formula: mass (in tons) = volume (in cubic meters) x density (in tons per cubic meter) to get the conversion.
The number of cubic meters in 1 ton varies depending on the material's density. For example, 1 ton of water is equivalent to 1 cubic meter, as water has a density of 1 ton per cubic meter. However, for other materials like concrete or soil, 1 ton may occupy more or less than 1 cubic meter based on their densities.
The medium density should given to convert from mass (kilogram) to volume (1 cubic meters). Assuming water of 1000 kg/cubic meter, than 1 cubic meter would contain 1000 kilograms,
One cubic meter of fresh water weighs approximately 1000 kilograms, or 1 metric ton.
A cubic meter is a unit of volume; a metric ton is a measure of mass. Depending on what is in a particular cubic meter, the mass may vary between close to zero (in a vacuum), and billions of tons (in a neutron star). For example, a cubic meter of water has a mass of 1 ton, a cubic meter of lead, about 11 tons, a cubic meter of gold, about 19 tons. In every case, you have to multiply the volume with the density of whatever fills the cubic meter.A cubic meter is a unit of volume; a metric ton is a measure of mass.
