Understanding Metric and Imperial units is crucial for quantifying physical properties. The Metric system, or SI, is based on multiples of ten, with units like meters, grams, and liters. The Imperial system, used mainly in the US, includes inches, pounds, and gallons. Conversions between these systems are vital in international contexts, with established factors for length, mass, volume, and temperature. Mastery of both systems is beneficial globally.
