There is only one unit of mass, the gram. It can be prefixed, however, so you can have kilogram, gram, and microgram, to name just three possibilities.
Mass and weight are two different things: you cannot measure the mass of your weight. That is like talking about the temperature of your height - it makes no sense.
meters, grams, liters Density is mass divided by volume.
Scientists use the metric system to measure matter. The metric system includes units like grams for mass, liters for volume, and meters for length. This system is based on powers of 10, making it easy to convert between different units.
The SI unit for mass is the kilogram.Other units include pounds, tonnes, metric tonnes, atomic mass units, eV/c2, Earth masses, Solar masses. The latter two are often used for comparisons in astronomy.
The basic unit is grams.So:kilogramshectogramsdecagramsgramsdecigramscentigramsmilligramsCommentThe 'base', not 'basic', unit for mass in the SI system is the kilogram, not the gram. Further, the prefixes 'hecto', 'deca', and 'deci' are not used in SI.

The metric unit of mass is the gram (g) in the International System of Units (SI). Other common metric units of mass include the kilogram (kg) and the metric tonne (t).
Three units! There are nearly 50 units for measuring mass. And that is without any of the multitude of metric units: nanogram, microgram, milligram, gram, or intermediate measures. See the Wikipedia link.
The mass of a beetle in metric units is 5 metric units no joke!
The metric units of mass are: Kilogram=mass of 4 videocassettes Gram=mass of a small paper clip Milligram=mass of an eyelash
Meter. . . . . Length Kilogram . . . Mass Second. . . . Time
the metric units for mass are grams, kilograms, milligrams, ect.
Mass is measured in kilograms.
Mass units in the Metric system: Gram, kilogram Mass units in the English system: Poundal, Slug
the gram
If, by 'metric system', you mean 'SI system', then the base unit for mass is the kilogram
You would use kilograms (kg) to measure someone's mass in metric units.
