Kilogram

Definition: A kilogram (symbol: kg) is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to 1000 grams.

History/origin: The kilogram was originally defined as the mass of a specific artifact called the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK), a platinum-iridium cylinder. In 2019, the definition was redefined based on fundamental physical constants.

Current use: Kilograms are used for measuring the mass of larger objects, such as people, packages, and vehicles. It's a standard unit in commerce, engineering, and science.

Microgram

Definition: A microgram (mcg or µg) is a unit of mass in the metric system, equal to one millionth (10⁻⁶) of a gram.

History/origin: The microgram is derived from the gram, which was defined during the French Revolution as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at the temperature of melting ice. The prefix 'micro-' indicates one millionth.

Current use: Micrograms are commonly used to measure very small amounts of substances, such as vitamins, medications, and pollutants. They are frequently used in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and environmental science.
