Detailed explanation-1: -A gram is a mass measurement not a weight. Mass is the measurement of matter an object contains while weight is the gravitational pull the earth has on an object. Mass is important to measure because it will measure the amount of force it will take to move the object.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gram (g) – The gram is used for measuring intermediate amounts. For example, 100 grams of butter, 250 grams of cheese, 500 grams of peas, sugar, flour, etc. Kilogram (kg) – The Kilogram is used for measuring larger amounts. For example, 1 kilogram of potatoes, 10 kilogram of bananas, 25 kilogram of rice, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mass measures the amount of matter in a substance or an object. The basic SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg). Volume measures the amount of space that a substance or an object takes up.

Detailed explanation-4: -A gram is a metric unit of measurement that defines an object’s volume and weight.

Detailed explanation-5: -1: An analytical balance makes very sensitive mass measurements in a laboratory, usually in grams. Other common units of mass are the gram and the milligram. A gram is 1/1000th of a kilogram, meaning that there are 1000g in 1kg. A milligram is 1/1000th of a gram, so there are 1000mg in 1g.
