An uppercase M in the metric system stands for the prefix mega, meaning one million. For instance 1Mg is one megagram, or one million grams.
Ms would mean one megasecond ( s represents seconds), or one million seconds.
Sometimes an uppercase M is mistakenly used for metre, which should be represented by a lowercase m.
