The metric system is a set of standardized units of measurement based on the number 10.  Why 10?  Well, it is because humans have 10 fingers.  It is also the system that is virtually used by every scientist in the world, as well as the medical profession.  The metric system uses “meters” to measure length and distance, “grams” to measure mass or weight, and “liters” to measure volume.
