Facts about Gram

Basic facts: A gram is a unit of mass in the SI [International System of Units]. Its symbol is [g]. A kilogram is the base of the definition of a gram, where a gram is one-thousandth of a kilogram, the SI base unit of mass. The definition of the kilogram is no longer based on the international prototype since 2019. It is rather based on Planck’s constant, h, together with the new definitions of the second and the meter.

History: Initially, a gram was defined as the absolute weight of pure water in a cubic centimeter at the temperature of melting ice [later 4 °C]. Until the widespread adoption of SI, which uses kilograms as the base unit of mass, the gram used to be a fundamental unit of mass as part of centimeter-gram-second systems of units. Later, the gram was redefined as one-thousandth of a kilogram, the SI [meter-kilogram-second system of units] base unit of mass.

Use: In every life as well as scientific context, the gram is widely used. For instance, the gram is commonly used to measure non-liquid ingredients used for groceries or cooking. Standards often require the relative contents to be stated per 100 grams of the product on the nutrition labels of food products.

Facts about Centigram

Basic fact: A centigram [cg] is a unit of weight and mass in SI (the International System of Units), the contemporary form of the metric system of measurement. The centigram is relative to units of mass that are used to measure many everyday objects, this is a very small unit of measurement. For instance, a person who weighs 70 kilograms weighs 7,000,000 centigrams, so it is more convenient to discuss mass in terms of kilograms.

Use: Centigrams are not widely used for everyday measurements; they are more likely to be used in laboratory settings for precise measurements of mass. Centigrams may not be normally used is because grams and milligrams are two other units of mass that are used rather frequently, both of which are equal in magnitude to centigrams.
