The unit of weight is the gram. Kilogram is a bigger unit of weight.

 

1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams

                            or

1000 grams is equal to 1 kilogram

We write gram as 'g' and kilogram as 'kg' in short form.

1 kg is equal to 1000 g

                 or

1000 g is equal to 1 kg
