A unit is a definite value of a quantity used as a standard or reference to describe a physical quantity based on observations and defined by law, tradition or convention. Quantities of the same kind can be expressed as multiples of the particular unit. A single unit is a type of measurement and typically is understood as a measure of 1.

Historically, multiple unit systems of measurement were created and used in different regions and cultures. Those systems represent a group or collection of units of measurement and rules relating them to each other. The global modern standard of measurement is the International System of Units (abbreviated SI, from the French Système international d’unités), which is an updated form of the metric system. Although the SI is designed for global use, it has not been fully adopted, some other systems of measurement such as The system of Imperial units or the United States customary units, are still used in some parts of the world. Yet, the SI is the most commonly used measurement system in various fields such as science, industry, medicine and of course day-to-day life. It comprises of seven base units:

Other units are derived from those base units.
