  1. Thats why Americans are frightened of the metric system. It doesn't make sense to our challenged brains. We use pounds, so we don't have to get confused like you.


  2. You are right in that a kilogram is a unit of mass.  Mass does not change depending on gravitational force, but weight does.

    However, in lay terms, "mass" is freely interchangeable with the word "weight", because when people weigh themselves, they are doing in on earth, and not on any other planet, so the gravitational force is always approximately constant and taken to be about 9.81 metres per second squared.

  3. most people weight themselves on the earth . they dont worry about the difference between weight and mass. It is understood
