International System of Units (SI)

The International System of Units (SI) is a standardized system used worldwide for measuring various quantities. It provides a consistent framework, using base units such as meters for length, kilograms for mass, and seconds for time. This system ensures that scientists, engineers, and industries can communicate measurements clearly and uniformly across different countries and fields. The SI also includes derived units, like Newtons for force. Established in 1960, it helps facilitate global collaboration, trade, and innovation by eliminating confusion that can arise from using different measurement systems.
