Kilogram is not the metric unit of weight, it’s mass. 1 liter of water has mass of 1kg. 1kg of water weighs 9.81 newtons - at least on earth. Newton is the metric unit of weight.

    9.76N to 9.83N depending where you are, if you want to be super pedantic.

    "Mount Nevado Huascarán in Peru has the lowest gravitational acceleration, at 9.7639 m/s2, while the highest is at the surface of the Arctic Ocean, at 9.8337 m/s2."

    Also depends on how much mass the weighed object has so not constant based on the position alone. But 9.81 or 9.8 is generally accepted as the acceleration due to gravity on earth. F=Gm1m2/r^2 if you’d like to be extra specific.
