1 newton = 100 000 dyne
Thus newtons are bigger.

Systems of units have standard units for length, mass, time, and derived terms for force and energy.

For SI they are meter, kg, sec, Newton, Joule

for cgs they are centimeter, sec, dyne, and I forget the energy unit.

Force is mass*change in momentum
newton= kg*m/s/s
dyne= gram*cm/s/s

So, you can see that there are 10^3(10^2) or 10^5 dynes/newton.

In the English system, which the USA uses, the force unit is pound force which is 32.2 ft*lb/s/s. It's defined that way so that 1 lb of mass exerts a force (weight) of 1 lb force. There's also a slug of mass which is 32.2 lbm.

Some fools like this so much that they've 'back defined' as kg of force so that 1 kg exerts a force of 1 newton under the earth's gravity. 1 kg exerts a force of 9.8 newtons because the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s/s.

Enought?

Both are same, it is different in expersion, such as newton and dyne. Simalirly, km and meter also same. it is a description stand for distance. by using SI units.

Both are same in it own description, the english word make you different. It stand for a purpose to measure quantity.
