Weight FAQs
Is weight the same as mass?
Strictly, no: mass is the amount of matter and weight is the force gravity exerts on it. In everyday use — and in this converter — the two are treated as interchangeable.
How many pounds are in a stone?
14. So 11 stone is 154 pounds, and 70 kg is about 11 stone.
Why is a US ton different?
A metric tonne is 1,000 kg, a US short ton is 2,000 lb (907.18 kg), and a UK long ton is 2,240 lb (1,016.05 kg). This converter uses the metric tonne.
