The two principal systems are 'Metric' and 'Imperial'.

Each system measures mass, length, and (liquid)volume.

Time is the only system which is common to both.

The Imperial system has two main variants; the classical UK form and the American variant.

The Metric system was introduced, by France, during the during the French Revolution ( 1789 - 1794)

Can observation be accurate but not precise?

Accuracy, precision, repeatability and so on are terms that have been closely defined for measurement purpose. By folk such as ASTM. and ISO.The true value is the value towards which a large number of different measurements (by different measurement teams, using different measuring systems ... ..) tends.The accuracy of a particular method or measurement is how closely that answer comes to the True Value.The precision of a measurement represents the confidence you have in the measurement. (Generally by making several measurements.)The resolution of a measurement is merely the number of figures in your answer. A number with many places would have greater resolution, but many of those numbers might be meaningless.So, a single measurement of the height of a mountain for example, might be correct, (true value) but you don't necessarily have reason to be confident of the answer.
