How weight and mass conversion works

In everyday language, weight usually means mass. Calculations here use the kilogram as the reference quantity and do not apply local gravitational acceleration.

Values are converted to kilogram first, then from that reference into the requested unit. Keeping a single documented reference reduces inconsistent pair-by-pair constants.

Accuracy note: International avoirdupois and metric mass definitions are exact; displayed results are rounded only for readability.
