They are used a lot in science. However, the metric units are also used in daily life, in most countries - with the notable exception of the United States.In some cases, non-metric (non-SI) units are also used; for example, it is customary to use degrees Celsius for temperature (instead of Kelvin); or to use time units other than seconds (such as minutes, days, years) for time.
What else can I help you with?
Do you have to turn units into metric units for a science fair project?

What does the metric unit has to do with earth science?
Almost all scientists use metric units for scientific measurements.
What is the metric unit used for measuring precipitation in science?
Units of length, such as mm, are used for this.
Why should you use the metric system in science?
Because the metric system uses units of 10's to measure which makes things simple.

What is the definition of a metric system and how is it used in the field of science and measurement?
The metric system is a system of measurement based on the meter, kilogram, and second as fundamental units. It is used in science and measurement to provide a standardized and consistent way to quantify and compare physical quantities. Scientists use the metric system because it is easy to convert between units and promotes international collaboration and communication.
