That means that if two different scientists use SI units, they will use the SAME definition of the units, even if they live in different countries. In contrast, if they use "pounds" for example, this isn't the case, since different countries may use different definitions of pounds.

Why was the metric system renamed the SI system?
The metric system has not been 'renamed' SI. SI is simply the latest standardised version of the metric system.Previous standardised versions include the cgsA(centimetre, gram, second, Ampere) system, and the mksA(metre, kilogram, second, Ampere) system. Metric units (such as calories, litres, ergs, etc.) used in these systems are not used in SI.
Why is the need of si units?
SI stands for System Internationale. It allows for standardised units for certain measurements that can be understood all over the world. Whereas stones, pounds and ounces were used to weigh everything in Britain, the SI kg is coming into force. SI units are essential for science. For example, in chemistry, we wouldn't dream of using the Fahrenheit scale for measuring temperature. Either Celsius or the SI Kelvin are used instead.

What are SI units and how do you convert them to metric?
SI and metric are the same units.

International System of Units (SI)
What do you call the principal SI units that are used to derive all other SI units?
The principal SI units used to derive all other SI units are the base SI units. These are the units for physical quantities such as length, time, mass, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.
Why do scientists use SI units instead of units such as inches and gallons?
most of the world does SI so more people can understand with it in SI units
Why do scientist's use SI units instead of units such as inches and gallons?

Why are si units so often in science?
SI units are more accurate than English system units
When SI units combine what do they make?
When SI units combine, they create derived SI units that are used to express physical quantities. These derived units are formed by multiplying or dividing the base SI units. Examples include the Newton (kg*m/s^2) for force and the Pascal (N/m^2) for pressure.
The different between si units and metric units?
Si and metric are the same thing. SI was a redefinition of metric in 1960.
