    Unit of measurement - Wikipedia

    • A unit of measurement, or unit of measure, is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity. Any other quantity of that kind can be expressed as a multiple of the unit of measurement. For example, a length is a physical quantity. The met… See more

    History

    A unit of measurement is a standardized quantity of a physical property, used as a factor to express occurring quantities of that property. Units of measurement were among the earliest tools invented by humans. Pr… See more

    Systems of units

    The use of a single unit of measurement for some quantity has obvious drawbacks. For example, it is impractical to use the same unit for the distance between two cities and the length of a needle. Thus, historically they would … See more

    For most quantities a unit is necessary to communicate values of that physical quantity. For example, conveying to someone a particular length without using some sort of unit is impossible, because a length cann… See more

    What units are used to measure length?
    Over time, advances in technology have resulted in more precise measurements, generating an evolution of definitions for the Système Internationale, or International System of Units (SI). These units are known as the meter (m), kilogram (kg), second (s), kelvin (K), candela (cd), mole (mol), and ampere (A). Measurement of Length

    What units are used in measurement?
    Measurements most commonly use the International System of Units (SI) as a comparison framework. The system defines seven fundamental units: kilogram, metre, candela, second, ampere, kelvin, and mole. All of these units are defined without reference to a particular physical object which serves as a standard.

    What are the units of measure in metric system?
    It is also called the International System of Units, or SI. Units of measure in the metric system include: The units of length or linear size are based on the metre. They include the kilometre (km) which is 1,000 metres, the centimetre (cm), and the millimetre (mm) which is 1/1,000th of a metre. The unit of volume is the litre.
