No, a liter is the standard unit of volume in the metric system. If you're looking for the standard unit of mass, it would be the gram.
The base unit of mass is the kilogram.
The metric standard unit of mass is the kilogram (Kg).
The standard unit of length in the metric system is called the meter. The standard unit of mass is the kilogram.
In the SI - the current metric system - that would be the kilogram. In older metric systems, the gram has been used as the unit of mass.
Grams -kilograms
No it is the kilogram.
The second is a standard unit in both the ancient and modern systems.
If you are referring to the SI system, then the unit for capacity (volume) is the cubic metre. The litre is a metric unit that may be used 'alongside' the SI system, but it is not an SI unit.Yet another answerPersonally I'd say gram, but I think the second answer is best for this one. It's volume. CommentA gram is a submultiple of the SI base unit for mass, the kilogram.
Kilogram is the basic world standard in the Metric system. The other metric units of mass are, gram, milligram, and Tonne (1000Kilo)
No. Metric units of volume include cubic meter and liter; metric units of mass include kilograms and grams.
The metric standard unit of mass is the kilogram (Kg).
The standard unit of volume in the SI system is the cubic meter. However, the most common unit used for smaller volumes in the metric system is the litre (liter) which equals 1 cubic decimeter.It is no coincidence that there is a relationship between liter as volume, meter as distance, and the mass of water:1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1 kilogram of water at 4 degrees C.
