About both units

From

Kilogram

The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass. Since 2019 it has been defined via the fixed numerical value of Planck's constant — a major shift from the previous definition based on a physical artifact. One litre of water at 4 °C has a mass of almost exactly 1 kg, a coincidence designed into the original 1795 definition.

Real-world: A litre of water weighs 1 kg at 4 °C. An average adult weighs 60–90 kg. A standard bag of flour is 1 kg.
