Meters
Units of measurement provide a standard to measure mass, length etc.So, it is useful.

A meter stick can measure length in meters and centimeters. It is also useful for measuring, drawing straight lines, and serving as a straight edge.
The unit of measurement most useful for a baseball's weight is ounces.
Hmm, it's not a yoctometer, it's actually a planck length, that's apparently the size of quantam foam. However, calling the planck length a 'measurement' is a little misleading since we have no means whatever of actually measuring things that small and we may never have. It is useful currently only in theoretical work. See the discussion and modify your question if necessary.
When measuring the length of a pen, you typically use linear measurements, such as centimeters or inches. This measurement provides a straightforward understanding of the pen's size, which can be useful for storage or compatibility with pen holders. The length can be measured using a ruler or a measuring tape, ensuring accuracy.
The best units would be millimetres for the length measurements and millilitres for the volume.

They are in fact two different devices that are commonly mistaken. A "measuring stick" is a stick of a given length that is used to reference another object from it's total length. These usually have no markings as such, or any calibrated length. A "ruler" (aka straightedge) IS calibrated and has measurement markings. It is used to "rule" straight lines to an exacting measurement. Originally designed for the engineering industry, they have been useful in countless other areas throught history.

Tape measures are useful for measuring distances that are too large to measure with your ruler.
You have it in reverse. Scientific notation is useful for measuring stars.
No. I would use linear units if measuring the swim distance or cubic units if measuring the volume of water. Square units might be useful to see how many people could use the pool before it got crowded but that would depend on whether they were there for swimming or splashing about.
To take accurate body measurements, you'll need a flexible measuring tape, a ruler or straight edge for length measurements, and a scale for weight. A caliper can be useful for measuring body fat percentage, while a body measurement chart can help in recording and organizing the data. Additionally, a notepad or smartphone can be handy for noting down the measurements.

It turns out that the Breslow measurement is more reproducible and thus more useful; therefore, for purposes here, depth of penetration by absolute measurement (Breslow) is used in local staging.
