What are the units of measure used in Kerbal Space Program?
Solution 1:
Everything in Kerbal Space Program uses the Metric system
Distances are measured in (kilo)metres
Masses are measured in metric tons (this applies to both parts and fuels).
- Xenon Gas is measured as mass per unit not volume: 0.1 kg per unit
- All other gasses are 5kg per unit
Volumes (for all other liquid fuel, oxidizer, monopropellant, solid fuel etc), are measured as 2-2.5 litres per unit.
Thrust is measured in kilo-newtons.
No real world analogue exists for electric charge. It is speculated a unit of electric charge is, as estimated from the capacity batteries and the consumers, it is about 10 kJ (power of 10 kW for a second).
