The metric system

The metric system is a standardized way of measuring things, used worldwide for consistency. It’s based on units of ten, making conversions straightforward; for example, 10 millimeters equals 1 centimeter, and 100 centimeters equal 1 meter. Common units include meters for length, grams for weight, and liters for volume. Its simplicity and ease of conversion have made it the preferred measurement system in science, medicine, and many industries, promoting clear communication and reducing confusion across different countries and fields.
