They are both systems of measurement except that the metric system is simpler and used by the majority of the world.

A millilitre.
There is not a name for the measurement smaller than an INCH. sorry its just called 1/16th inch. I know Customary Units SUCK. Metric is better.

if you are after a metric measurement than millimetres^2
One 'metric ton'. On earth, that much mass weighs roughly 2204.62 pounds (rounded), or 10.23% more than a 'customary' ton.

It can be more or less. An once (customary) is bigger than a gram (metric) but a pound (customary) is smaller than a kilogram (metric).
Depends on if by 'customary' you're referring to a short ton or a long ton. A short ton is less than a metric ton; a long ton is more than a metric ton.

It isn't better. The customary might seem better because most Americans know the parts of the customary system they need to know and therefore it seems easy to use. 99 per cent of the world's population can't be wrong in using the modern metric system as an everyday measurement system.

Because the metric unit is used in the rest of the world. We are perhaps the only country with our own customary unit system.
It Goes By Tens. It Is More Easy to Understand.
NoYes they do. In science classes it is actually more likely to see metric conversions than customary conversions. This is because most of the world uses metric.
Look at the Wikipedia article "Metric prefix". Please note that it is not customary to use units larger than kilometer.

In math and in almost all other countries, the typical units of measure are metric units of measure
