How many grams is 2 cups of whole milk?
Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of whole milk weighs 244 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171265 “Milk, whole, 3.25% milkfat, with added vitamin D”, portion “1 cup” = 244 grams.
2 cups of whole milk equals 488 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 515.7 grams.
How 2 cups of whole milk was converted to grams
One US cup of whole milk weighs 244 grams (two hundred forty-four), so multiply 2 by 244.

(four hundred eighty-eight grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 171265 “Milk, whole, 3.25% milkfat, with added vitamin D”, portion “1 cup” = 244 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many cups a weight fills
This page starts from cups and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many cups a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to cups converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of whole milk is 0.41 cups there.
