1 gram of mass weighs 0.00220462 of a pound on Earth. It has different weights in other places.

Explanation:

1 kilogram is not "equal" to 2.206 pounds. 1 kilogram of mass weighs 2.205 pounds (9.81 Newtons) on Earth, and the same kilogram of mass weighs different amounts in other places where the acceleration of gravity is different.

First:\\1kg\approx2.206lb?\ I\ think,\ and\ I know:1kg\approx2.205lb !!!\ Not\ 2.206lb\\------------------------------\\1kg=1000g\to1g=(1)/(1000)kg=0.001kg\\therefore\\1g\approx(2.206)/(1,000)lb=\boxed{0.00226\ lb}\\\\in\ My\ correct\ rounding:\\\\1g\approx(2.206)/(1,000)lb=\boxed{0.00225\ lb}
