A stone is a unit of weight used primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland to measure body weight. One stone equals 14 pounds or approx. 6.35 kilograms. It's not part of the official metric or imperial systems, but it remains a widely recognized standard in health, fitness, and everyday conversation in the UK. If someone says they weigh "11 stone," they mean 154 pounds (11 × 14).
The stone has historical roots going back to ancient Europe, where stones of specific weight were used in trade. Over time, England standardized the stone to mean 14 pounds in 1835, and that value is still used today. While most countries have adopted the metric system, the stone remains part of British culture—primarily when referring to personal weight.
How is the Stone Used: The stone is most commonly used to express body weight in the UK and Ireland. You'll often hear weights given in stone and pounds together, like "11 stone 4 pounds" instead of 158 pounds or 71.6 kg. It's rarely used in scientific, industrial, or commercial applications today. The metric system has replaced it in those contexts.
A gram (g) is a fundamental unit of mass in the metric system. It's widely used across the globe in everyday life, science, medicine, and commerce. One gram is defined as one-thousandth of a kilogram and is roughly equal to the weight of a standard paperclip or a small raisin.
The gram was introduced in France in the late 18th century during the development of the metric system. It was originally defined as the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at 4°C. Today, it's standardized based on the kilogram and remains part of the International System of Units (SI). The metric system's simplicity and global acceptance make the gram a common unit of measurement in most countries.
How Is the Gram Used: The gram is used in many areas of daily life and professional work. You'll see it often in:
The gram strikes a balance between small-scale precision and practical everyday use, making it one of the most recognized and relied-upon units in the world.
