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.
