  • Metric System

    What is it?

    The metric system of measurement bases all its units on multiples of 10. There are 1000 milimeters in a meter; 1000 mililitres in a litre; 1000 meters in a kilometer; etc.

    Give me an example!

    Many scientists prefer the metric system and have worked to make it the international standard. The metric system works well when used with the Celsius temperature scale because the boiling point of water is at 100 degrees and the freezing point is at 0 degrees on the Celsius scale (more multiples of 10!).
