What standard measurements does the metric system include?

The metric system includes standard measurements for length (meter), mass (kilogram), and volume (liter). It is based on powers of ten, making conversions straightforward, such as 1,000 milliliters in a liter or 1,000 grams in a kilogram. Additional units include the Celsius scale for temperature and the newton for force. This system is widely used globally for scientific and everyday measurements.
