Other units include the ampere (A) for electric current, the kelvin (K) for temperature, and the mole (mol) for the amount of substance. Additionally, the candela (cd) is used for luminous intensity.

What units do we use for measuring a quantity of matter?

Anything which occupies space is called 'Matter'. You can measure the quantity of any 'Matter' by measuring it's Volume ( in cubic inches, or cubic feet, or cubic Centimetre or cubic Metre etc.). You can also measure the quantity of Mass (Weight) which it has, expressed in kilogram, or gram, or tonne, or pound, or ounce, or ton etc. The word 'weight' technically is by definition, the force of gravity acting upon some 'mass'. The force of gravity is different in value at different places on our planet. Therefore a mass will have a different weight in different parts of the world. This is the reason why a world standard of a Kilogram is kept in a temperature and humidity controlled atmosphere in a special room in Paris. Very accurate copies of this kilogram are made and sold to other nations , and they then know that every kilogram in the entire world , has the same mass.
