in the mks (SI) metric, the base unit is kilogram. in the cgs metric system, the base unit is gram. There are many prefixes that can be added to gram to determine the magnitude in power of ten. See related link for a list of prefixes.

Right, and don't forget the tonne. Though equivalent to 1 megagram or 1000 kg the word tonne is commonly used.
