    A kilo of feathers and a kilo of gold weigh the same. They are both 1 kilogram since kilogram is the unit that measures mass or weight. What differs between them is density - gold is denser than feathers so a kilo of gold will take up less space (volume) than a kilo of feathers. But in terms of mass or weight as measured by a scale, they are equal at 1 kilogram each.
