Are all the measuring units standard units?
The International System of Units has standard units for all types of measurements.Unfortunately some countries as United States, Canada, United Kingdom and colonies doesn't recognize the SI.
What are some facts about SI units?
SI is an international standard system of units. Most people would call it the metric system. SI has standards for the kilogram and meter that can be referenced, to make and calibrate measuring devices.
Why is the use of SI important to science?
If you are referring to the International System of measurements (commonly also called the metric system): it is important because all measurements are know to be the same and can be compared to a standard, no matter where you are. Also, the units are commonly used, and there are no ambiguous units (US gallon, Imperial gallon, ounce - is it volume or mass, dry quart or liquid quart are some examples).
Which is not a unit of measurment in the metric system?
A cubit Yeah, that is a unit that is not only not an international system, it is as far as I know an archaic and poorly defined unit that is not currently in use anywhere. Technically, the question is poorly worded because we are asked to compare a unit with a system of units. Since no system of units consists of just one unit, the answer to the question is any unit of measurement (including one that is part of the international system of units) is not the international system of units. So if the questioner is asking for a currently used system of units that is other than the international system, there are probably many such systems. Any system other than the metric system will do. The one I am familiar with is the English system, also known as the FPS (foot-pound-second) system.

What is the definition of length and the units it uses?
In the International System (SI), a length or distance is measured in meters, or some multiple like km., mm., etc.
What is another term for measurement in physics?
The primary measurement system in the world is called the International System of Units (abbreviated SI from the French: Système international d'unités). It is also often called the metric system.
What are the units used for Si?
SI units, which is the abbreviation for International System of Units, is used for making measurements that can be understood in various countries. While most countries have no adopted SI units as their form of measurements, some countries like the United States only use them in certain areas of study.
