There are several differences. Some of them are:
1. The metric system is internationally agreed as standard. Not like a gallon which can mean one amount in the US and another in the UK.
2. In the metric system orders of magnitude for the same measure are related by simple decimal conversions and only a handful of prefices are required (although there are a lot more if required). By way of contrast, the Imperial system uses:
and so on, and on and on. The decimal structure also makes it very simple to use scientific notation for small and large quantities.
3. The metric system is used by most people in the world. The main recalcitrant countries are USA, Liberia and Myanmar. Even in the US, scientists normally use SI. When they don't they have disasters like the one that trashed NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter!
4. There are many simple relations from measures for one characteristic to another. For example, the SI unit of length is 1 metre. 100 square metres = 1 are, the unit for area. 1 cubic metre = 1000 litres, the unit for volume.
the metric system uses:
In most of the world, there is no difference, because the metric system is the customary system.In a few isolated hold-out corners of the world, such as the USA, the English system is still customary.In those places, the main difference between the metric system and their customary system is that theircustomary system is a lot harder for their people to learn than the metric system would be.
In many European countries the metric system IS the customary system!
Turkey uses the Metric System.The only country that does not use the Metric System is the USA.
1 meter = 39.3701 inches.
The Metric System is very important because almost all of the world uses the Metric System. It is important to know about the Metric or SI System, the English System, the U.S. Customary System, and the American Engineering System.
The customary units are ones we use everyday. metric units usually have the word meter on it. my teacher taught me meter metric no meter no metric.

Metric measurements use powers of 10. Any other system has NO bases or logic.
They use the metric system.

metric
metric and customary
Turkey uses the Metric System.The only country that does not use the Metric System is the USA.
Yes they do use only the metric system
The difference is the tranguillary measurements of the two said units
The US has not converted to the Metric System yet. We are still using the English Customary.
The english system is the metric system. There is no difference.
