About the kilogram and the ounce
The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass. Since May 2019 it has been defined using the Planck constant instead of the old platinum-iridium cylinder kept near Paris. It is used for body weight and groceries in most countries.
The avoirdupois ounce is one sixteenth of a pound. It appears on US food packaging, postal rates and kitchen scales. Fluid ounces measure volume and are a different unit, and precious metals use the heavier troy ounce of 31.1035 grams.
One kilogram equals 35.27396 ounces, which makes the kilogram the heavier unit of the two.
