Grams

A gram is a metric unit of mass commonly used to measure weight in everyday items. It is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is equivalent to one-thousandth of a kilogram. For perspective, a standard paperclip weighs about one gram. Grams are used in various contexts, such as nutrition (e.g., food labels show grams of sugar or protein) and scientific measurements. Understanding grams helps in accurate cooking, understanding product quantities, and engaging with scientific data. Essentially, grams provide a straightforward way to quantify and compare weights in a consistent manner.
