Is weight measured in pounds or newtons?
'Weight' is a force, and can be described with any unit of force. 'Newton' is the unit of force in the SI system. 'Kilogram' is a unit of mass, not force. The weight of an amount of mass is always the same as long as it stays on the same planet. But when that same mass leaves the Earth and goes to other places, then its weight changes. Since all of human history so far has taken place on the Earth, a lot of people have gotten used to describing weights in terms the mass that has that weight on Earth. According to that habit, 'one kilogram' is the same as 9.8 newtons of weight, or 2.205 pounds of weight. But it's not a good habit, and now that we're beginning to do things in other places away from the Earth, the folks who are in that habit are going to have trouble. They'll be shocked the first time they're someplace where 1 kilogram doesn't 'weigh 1 kilogram'.
