Questions people actually ask

What is the difference between a kilogram and a kilogram-force?
A kilogram is mass; a kilogram-force is the weight of that mass under standard gravity, which is 9.80665 N. Scales are marked in kilograms but measure force, which is why they read differently on the Moon.
