- Sugar Cups to GramsWhite granulated sugar sits near 200 g per US cup. It packs less drama than flour. Caster/superfine is similar; powdered sugar with cornstarch is closer to 120 g and is a different page in spirit.
- Brown Sugar Cups to GramsPacked light or dark brown sugar is about 220 g per US cup. “Packed” means you pressed it. A loose scoop can miss 30 g and flatten cookies. Light and dark weigh nearly the same; molasses is the flavor, not the scale.
- Flour Cups to GramsA US cup of spooned all-purpose flour is about 120 g. Scoop-and-level from the bag can hit 140 g and dry out a cake. Weigh if the crumb matters. Bread flour is denser; cake flour is lighter.
- Oats Cups to GramsOld-fashioned rolled oats are about 90 g per US cup. Quick oats similar. Steel-cut are denser (~160 g). Overnight-oat blogs that say “1 cup” usually mean rolled.
- Atomic Mass Units to GramsDaltons (u) are how chemists weigh atoms. Carbon-12 is defined as 12 u. The gram is 6.022 × 10²³ of those, which is why a mole of carbon is 12 g. This page is for lab sheets, not grocery bags.
- Butter Sticks to GramsA US stick is ½ cup, 8 tablespoons, 4 oz, 113 g. European blocks are often 250 g. If a UK recipe says “8 oz butter,” that is two US sticks, not a European brick.

A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Feet to Meters
Unit Converters
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.
