First a Kilogram (Kg) is a unit of mass not one of pressure. Pressure is defined as Force per unit Area. The unit of force in SI is the Newton (N) which is defined as kilogram per meter second squared. Kg/(M*S^2).The unit of Pressure in SI is the Pascal (Pa) and is defined as 1 Newton per Meter squared. (N/M^2). Having explained that, it is common for people in industry to speak of Kgs of pressure but what they are referring to (unfortunatley) is confusing and not strictly correct. What they are usually referring to is a kilogram of force per centimeter squared. 1 kilogram-force/square centimeter = 98 066.5 times 10^-6 Mega pascal

Kilograms do not directly convert to psi.

Kilograms are a unit of mass. Psi is a unit of pressure, psi = pounds per square inch. Pounds in this context are pound-force, lbf (versus lbm, which is pound-mass). Force divided by the area over which it is distributed is the pressure, so pounds applied divided by the area. In sum, you would need more than a conversion to produce psi from kilograms but an actual calculation.

0.001 kilopascal in 1 pascal

there are 1000 pascals in 1 kilopascal (i.e. kilo = 1000)

Near the Equator its 2atm, but at the poles it is only 1. It varies inbetween depending on season, the Moons orbit and if your mom is close enough the her huge gravitational pull is a factor.
