The ounce and the gram are both units of mass. They belong to different measuring systems and are used in different parts of the world.

Ounce

The ounce is a unit of weight in the imperial system of units, which is primarily used in the United States. The symbol for ounce is "oz". An ounce is divided into 16 drams (in the apothecaries' system) or 16 ounces (in the avoirdupois system). It is often used in cooking, especially in the US, for measuring ingredients.

Gram

The gram is a unit of weight in the metric system, which is used internationally for scientific and everyday measurements. The symbol for gram is "g". A gram is the mass of one cubic centimeter of water at a temperature of 4 °C. It is subdivided into 1000 milligrams or it can be multiplied to kilograms, with 1000 grams in a kilogram.
