No, grams are not bigger than kilograms. In fact, grams are smaller than kilograms. The metric system is based on units of ten, and the prefix “kilo-” means one thousand. Therefore, one kilogram is equal to one thousand grams.
To put it simply:
- 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
This means that if you have 1 kilogram of something, it is equivalent to 1000 grams. Conversely, if you have 1 gram, it is only 0.001 kilograms. So, kilograms are larger units of measurement compared to grams.
