Gram (g)
Mass
Traceable to the kilogram, defined by fixing the Planck constant at 6.626 070 15 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s. Avoirdupois masses derive from the 1959 international pound (0.453 592 37 kg exactly).

About Gram
The gram equals one thousandth of a kilogram. It is commonly used for measuring food, ingredients, and small items.
Common uses: cooking, nutrition labels, jewelry.
About Centigram
The centigram (cg) is a unit of mass and weight. One centigram equals 1.000000 × 10^-5 kilograms. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other mass unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.
Common uses: mass calculations, engineering and science, education.
