Metric (SI for International System in French) was developed to replace archaic measures such as those of the "english system" or those used in France before the revolution. For example, Canada once used the Imperial gallon for gasoline; a gallon, but larger than the US gallon. There are no common units between these systems of measurement, and converting from one to another leads to all kinds of problems. A metric unit is the same everywhere - it's an international system.
metric system (european) and natural system
Scientists use Celsius scales because.... 1. it was developed specifically for scientific use 2. the metric system is used in measurements by the power of 10, making calculations much more simplistic than the American system of inches, feet, lbs, gallons, etc.
2000mm in 2mthe decimal or metric system is based on units of 10 and multiples of ten. the names are deriveed from the roman ( latin ) names for numbers. milli = 1000 centi = 100 so, 1000 millimeters = 1 meter.

The Binary numbering system is based on powers of 2
A power of 2. In the decimal system, we use powers of 10, in the binary system, powers of 2. Other number system use some other number as their base; for example, hexadecimal (base-16) uses powers of 16.
The base-2 (binary) system is simpler than a system based on any higher integer. In a way, it is the simplest possible number system.
The equation was based on the number 2 or the binary numeration system.
Successive powers refer to the repeated multiplication of a number by itself, where each result is raised to the next power. For example, if we take the number 2, its successive powers are 2^1 (2), 2^2 (4), 2^3 (8), 2^4 (16), and so forth. This concept is often used in mathematics to express exponential growth or decay. Each power represents a specific level of exponential increase based on the base number.

There are 1000000000000 bytes in 1 terabyte, so there are 12 zeros in a terabyte.This answer uses the modern convention where large number prefixes are implied to be based on powers of ten, rather than on powers of 2.
The decimal system is based on 10 and the powers of 10. The main disadvantage is that 10 is divisible by only 2 and 5. So commonly needed fractions, such as a third end up being infinite decimals.
The number 8 is represented as 22 in the base-3 numeral system (ternary). In this system, the digits represent powers of 3, so 2 in the "threes" place (3^1) and 2 in the "ones" place (3^0) equals 23 + 21 = 6 + 2 = 8. Thus, 22 in base-3 corresponds to the decimal number 8.
In the number 2.45, the digit 2 is in the tenths place. This means that the value of the digit 2 is 2 tenths or 0.2. Place value refers to the position of a digit in a number, which determines its value based on the powers of 10.

That is "hexadecimal". The decimal system we often used is based on powers of 10 (each place-value is worth 10 times as much as the one to the right); the hexadecimal system is based on powers of 16, and therefore needs 16 different digits. The "digits" commonly used are the digits 0-9, the "A" for 10, "B" for 11, ... "F" for 15.This is commonly used in computers, as a sort of shorthand for writing binary (base-2) numbers.
