Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What's the difference between weight and mass?
A: In everyday language, we use "weight" to mean mass. Scientifically, mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity on that object. This converter deals with mass, which is constant regardless of location.
Q: What is a 'stone' and who uses it?
A: A stone is an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds. It's still commonly used for measuring body weight in the UK and Ireland, but is rarely used elsewhere.
