Yes. Most of the rest of the world except for the United States and one other country uses the metric system, measuring with meters, kilometers, e.t.c. We use feet, inches, miles, e.t.c.
this can cause various complications when measuring. Even though we have different system of measuring things, the metric system is commonly used in the USA regardless. In physics, most students are taught calculations with metric system measurements.
