Kilogram

What is a kilogram?

The kilogram (kg) is the SI base unit of mass, defined by fixing the Planck constant h at 6.62607015E-34 J s.

Origin of the kilogram

From Greek 'khilioi' (thousand) plus 'gramma' (small weight).

Where it is used

The worldwide base unit of mass in science, commerce, and everyday life.

When and where it was developed

Adopted in 1795; redefined through the Planck constant on 20 May 2019.

Indian / South Asian

Ratti

What is a ratti?

The ratti equals about 0.1215 gram, the smallest traditional South Asian weight.

Origin of the ratti

Based on the seed of the Gunja plant (Abrus precatorius), or 'raktika' in Sanskrit.

Where it is used

Gemstones and gold in Indian and South Asian jewelry.

When and where it was developed

One of the oldest weight units of the Indian subcontinent, later standardized.

Real-world example — Macroscopic to microscopic

One kilogram equals a million rattis. Optical engineers calculating coherence length compare macro-scale path lengths with micro-scale wavelength differences using exactly this conversion.

1 kg × 8230.4526748971 = 8230.4526748971 ratti

Real-world example — Sub-meter precision

A 0.001-kilogram (1 mm) tolerance equals 1,000 rattis — useful for surface-finish specs, where macro-scale dimensions are given in the larger unit but feature roughness in the smaller.

0.001 kg × 8230.4526748971 = 8.2304526749 ratti

Real-world example — Macro-to-micro scale comparison

2 kilograms of measurement converts to a very large number in rattis — useful in materials science when comparing bulk-sample dimensions to feature-level surface specs.

2 kg × 8230.4526748971 = 16460.9053497942 ratti
