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).
