S.I. unit for mass is Kg.

a mass of 1 kilogram weighs 9.8 newtons on earth.

It will change on other planets or great heights on earth.

But mass is constant in universe.

So,We will say only in Kgs  but not in newtons.

force=mass*acceleration due to gravity of acceleration or weight =mgh

acceleration due to gravityg=9.8m/s^2

if we want to say our mass  in in newtons we have multiple our weight with acceleration due to gravity it is very difficult to tell the particular weight so that''s why we have to use kg as a measurement o weight
