No. The SI units used to measure the same thing (mass, length, whatever) are related by powers of ten, but not always by ten... in fact, it's usually a factor of 1000. Only for the values around unity are the prefixes "clustered together".
They are related to larger and smaller units by powers of ten near the basic unit and by powers of 1000 further away.
It works in powers of 10, so figures such as 100 and 1000 are especially important. There are 100 centimetres in a metre and 1000 metres in a kilometre for example.AnswerThe SI system is based on ten, raised to the power of multiples of three. In other words, micro-. milli-, kilo-, mega-, etc. Centi-. etc., are NOT used in the SI system.
The SI unit of mass is the kilogram. However the prefixes are based on the gram.
Its based on the speed of light.
The SI unit for measuring matter is the kilogram (kg). This unit is used to quantify the amount of mass in an object or substance.
Powers of ten
SI uses powers of 10.
They are related to larger and smaller units by powers of ten near the basic unit and by powers of 1000 further away.
This is from my 8th grade science text book !!!! It is based on the number TEN (10)

multiples of ten.
yes
The SI (International System of Units) is called a decimal system of measurement because it is based on powers of ten, making it easy to convert between units by simply moving the decimal point. Each unit in the SI system is defined in relation to base units, and prefixes such as kilo-, centi-, and milli- indicate multiples or fractions of ten. This structure simplifies calculations and enhances clarity in scientific and everyday measurements.
Kelvin The SI base unit of temperature is the kelvin.
Its based on the speed of light.
