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".

Why is the si metric SI system called a decimal system of measurement?

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.
