A kilogram is the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). The kilogram (kg) is used as a unit of mass in various fields and applications globally like science, healthcare, education, commerce and trade, agriculture, etc.
The ton is a unit of mass used in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. There are two main types of tons: the short ton (equal to 2,000 pounds) and the long ton (equal to 2,240 pounds). The ton is commonly used in the context of larger weights, such as the weight of goods, vehicles, or cargo.
