To help compare different [[Order of magnitude|orders of magnitude]], the following lists describe various [[mass]] levels between 10<sup>&minus;40</sup>&thinsp;[[kilogram|kg]] and 10<sup>52</sup> kg.
 
==Units of mass==
<div style="float:right; margin-left: 1em;">
{{SI multiples
| unit = gram
| symbol = g
| note = Common prefixes are in bold face.<ref>Criterion: A combined total of at least 250,000 Google hits on both the modern spelling ({{nbhyph}}gram) and the traditional British spelling ({{nbhyph}}gramme).<sub>{{nbsp}}</sub></ref>
| p= | n= | μ= | m= | k=
| xM = megagram ([[tonne]])
| xmc = '''microgram (mcg)'''
}}
</div>
The table below is based on the [[kilogram]] (kg), the base unit of mass in the [[International System of Units]] ([[SI]]). The kilogram is the only standard unit to include an [[SI prefix]] (''kilo-'') as part of its name. The ''[[gram]]'' (10<sup>−3</sup> kg) is an SI derived unit of mass. However, the ''names'' of all SI mass units are based on ''gram'', rather than on ''kilogram''; thus 10<sup>3</sup> kg is a ''megagram'' (10<sup>6</sup> g), not a "kilokilogram".
 
The ''[[tonne]]'' (t) is a SI-compatible unit of mass equal to a megagram, or 10<sup>3</sup> kg. The unit is in common use for masses above about 10<sup>3</sup> kg and is often used with SI prefixes.
 
===Other units===
Other units of mass are in use. Historical units include the [[Stone (imperial mass)|stone]], the  [[Pound (mass)|pound]], the [[Carat (mass)|carat]] and the [[Grain (unit)|grain]].
 
For subatomic particles, physicists use the mass equivalent to the energy represented by an electron volt ([[Electronvolt|eV]]). At the atomic level, chemists use the mass of one-twelfth of a carbon-12 atom (the [[Atomic mass unit|dalton]]). Astronomers use the [[Solar mass|mass of the sun]] <math>(\begin{smallmatrix}M_\odot\end{smallmatrix})</math>.

=== Below 10<sup>&minus;24</sup> kg ===
 
Unlike other physical quantities, mass-energy does not have an ''a priori'' expected minimal quantity, as is the case with [[Planck time|time]] or [[Planck length|length]], or an observed basic quantum as in the case of [[Elementary charge|electric charge]]. [[Planck's law]] allows for the existence of photons with arbitrarily low energies. Consequently, there can only ever be an experimental lower bound on the mass of a supposedly massless particle; in the case of the photon, this confirmed lower bound is of the order of 3×10<sup>−27</sup> eV = 10<sup>−62</sup> kg.

This is a clip of a Miss Teen America contestant from Sc. She"s answering the question, "Recent polls have shown that a fifth of Americans can not locate the U.S. On the world map. Why you think this really is"?

Whenever you see it written out sentence after sentence such as this, it is even more frightening:

"I personally think that U.S. Americans are not able to do so because, uh, many people out there within our country don"t have maps.
