The kilogram is a unit of mass, a property corresponding to the common perception of how ""heavy"" an object is. Mass is an ""inertial"" property; that is, it is related to the tendency of an object at rest to remain at rest, or if in motion to remain in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force. While the weight of an object is dependent on the strength of the local gravitational field,"
