The standard unit of mass in the metric system is the gram.

Other units of mass and their equivalents in grams are as follows:

1 milligram = 0.001 gram

1 centigram = 0.01 gram

1 decigram = 0.1 gram

1 kilogram = 1000 grams

We symbolize these masses as follows:

1 milligram = 1 mg

1 centigram = 1 cg

1 decigram = 1 dg

1 gram = 1 g

1 kilogram = 1 kg

For reference, 1 gram is about the mass of a paper clip.

One kilogram is about the mass of a liter of water.

Comment

The SI base unit for mass is the kilogram, not the gram. And we do not italicise the symbols.
