The 7 basic units of measurement in the metric system are:
- second (s), measuring time
- meter (m), measuring length/distance
- kilogram (kg), measuring the mass/weight
- ampere (A), measuring electric current
- kelvin (K), for temperature. kelvin uses the Celsius scale, but kelvin is the measure in the metric system for temperature because it starts at the absolute 0 (-273° C).
- mole (mol), the amount of a substance, used mostly in chemistry
and
- candela (cd), to measure light intensity
