Understanding Weight vs Mass
Technically, weight and mass are different concepts. Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted on that mass by gravity. However, in everyday use, we often use these terms interchangeably. Our converter follows common usage and treats "weight" as mass for practical purposes.
