Answer:

As of the 2019 redefinition of the SI base units, the kilogram is defined in terms of the second and the metre, both based on fundamental physical constants.

It is defined as the mass of a particular international prototype made of platinum-iridium and kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It was originally defined as the mass of one liter (10-3 cubic meter) of pure water. At the Earth's surface, a mass of 1 kg weighs approximately 2.20 pounds ( lb ).
