What is the conversion rate from kilogram to gram?

1 Kilogram equals 1000 Gram according to the International System of Units (SI).

Can this tool convert weight as well as mass?

No, this converter is intended for mass conversions only; weight involves force and is measured differently.

Why should grams be used instead of kilograms for some measurements?

Grams provide more precision and are suitable for smaller and more detailed quantities commonly used in labs and cooking.
