When the metric system was originally developed, the standard unit for mass was the mass of a liter of water as ice, which is one kilogram.
The Celsius temperature scale (and also the Kelvin scale) is also based on water. The boiling point of water (at sea level) is 100 degres Celsius, and freezing is 0 degrees Celsius.

What is the boiling point of water in metric system?
100 degrees Celsius
What thermometer is based on the metric system?
That depends on what units the thermometer is calibrated in. The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin, but degrees Celsius commonly used, if the thermometer reads in kelvin or degrees Celsius then it is a metric tool.
What is kilogram in metric system?
kg means kilograms. kg is the base unit for mass in the SI (metric) system. It is equal to the mass of 1 liter of water at 4oC
Is the milligram part of the US metric system?
The milligram is part of the SI system of measurements, it represents 1/1000 of a gram. One gram is the weight of one milliliter of pure water at 4 C. So the answer is no. The metric system is international, not US.
What is one advantage to using the metric system?
As well as being the system used in most countries around the world, as well as in most professions, the metric system is simple to use as it has a single set of base units to which prefixes can be added to increase the value in multiples of ten. For example, the base unit of length is the metre; a centimetre is one hundredth of metre and a kilometre is one thousand metres. The same prefixes are used for all metric units (so a kilogram is one thousand grams).
What substance has the density of 1.0?
in the metric system water has a density of 1 g/ml.
What is the boiling point of water in metric system?
100 degrees Celsius
What is the advantage to the metric system?
The main advantage of the metric system is that it is very logical. One example that illustrates this is water. 1 litre of water weighs 1kg 1 metric tonne (1000kg) of water will take up the volume of approximately one cubic meter Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C These simple concepts make metric calculation very easy.
Does water have the same weight as volume?
Only in the metric system. The metric system bases its unit of weight, the gram, on the weight of one millilitre of water. Therefore one litre of water (or other liquid which is mostly water) weighs one kilogram (1000 grams)
What thermometer is based on the metric system?
That depends on what units the thermometer is calibrated in. The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin, but degrees Celsius commonly used, if the thermometer reads in kelvin or degrees Celsius then it is a metric tool.
How are kilograms and liter related?
1 liter of water will weigh exactly 1 kilogram. The base for the metric system is water.
What is the substance that keeps your digestive system healthy?
lots of fiber and water
What do you take to get cocaine out of your system?
special magic water !!!
What is kilogram in metric system?
kg means kilograms. kg is the base unit for mass in the SI (metric) system. It is equal to the mass of 1 liter of water at 4oC
Is the milligram part of the US metric system?
The milligram is part of the SI system of measurements, it represents 1/1000 of a gram. One gram is the weight of one milliliter of pure water at 4 C. So the answer is no. The metric system is international, not US.
Why does the water from the ice take up less space than the ice cube itself?
Water is a special substance that expands when solidified.
