Units explained
Kilogram
The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass, defined by fixing the Planck constant h at 6.62607015E-34 J s.
From Greek 'khilioi' (thousand) plus 'gramma' (small weight).
The worldwide base unit of mass in science, commerce, and everyday life.
Adopted in 1795; redefined through the Planck constant on 20 May 2019.
Proton Mass
The proton rest mass is about 1.6726E-27 kg.
The mass of the proton, the positively charged nucleon.
Nuclear and particle physics, and chemistry.
Quantified after Rutherford identified the proton around 1917-1920.
