measurement systems
Units for comparing
Measurement systems are standardized frameworks for quantifying physical properties like length, weight, volume, and temperature.
The metric system (meters, grams, liters) dominates globally and in science, while the imperial system (feet, pounds, gallons) persists in the United States for everyday use.
Converting between systems remains a practical challenge: The recipe called for cups, but my measuring jug only showed milliliters.
