A compass is a tool often used to determine directions. It works by pointing towards the Earth's magnetic North pole, providing a reference for North, South, East, and West.
You should use kilograms. * * * * * That is so wrong! A kilogram is a measure of mass, not of weight. Also, you would need over 300,000 ants to have a mass of 1 kilogram! The basic unit for weight is Newtons, You could use a Newton, with scientific notation, to allow for the fact that an ant weights so little. Or a micronewton. An ordinary household ant will weigh approx 30 micronewtons.
The fastest ant is the Saharan silver ant (Cataglyphis bombycina), which can reach speeds of up to 1.3 meters per second. These ants have specially adapted legs for running quickly in the hot desert environment where they live.
