Is SI unit based on powers of ten?
No. The SI units used to measure the same thing (mass, length, whatever) are related by powers of ten, but not always by ten... in fact, it's usually a factor of 1000. Only for the values around unity are the prefixes "clustered together".
Why is the International of Units so helpful?
Several reasons. 1. All units for measuring the same attribute are related by powers of ten and the same prefices are used whether measuring length, mass, energy etc. 2. Many derived units are scaled so that their values are 1 together: for example 1 Newton (force) = 1 kilogram*metre/second2 3. All advanced countries and most of the rest of the world use it.
What measurement is the si system based on?
The SI system is based on multiples (and divisions) of ten. There are seven base units, all others are derived from these.

What are the guidelines for metric notation?
The units of the metric system are all designed to convert by powers of ten, so for example, ten millimeters is a decimeter, ten decimeters is a centimeter, ten centimeters is a meter, etc. When you have a large number of powers of ten, you can conveniently describe it by means of scientific notation, using exponents. So, a trillion meters is 1012 meters.
Why did France choose the metric system?
The metric system is much more logical than the previous avoirdupois system. Because all units come in the form of powers of ten (either ten times larger or ten times smaller than other units) the calculations are greatly simplified.
