A unit is the name given to a standard quantity of various measurable things. So a metre is the unit of length. It used to be defined as 1/10000000 of the distance from the north pole to the equator, but later with reference to something more practical. For time, it is the second, also with a precise definition. And the Kilogram. These are known as the MKS system, replacing the earlier cgs (centimetre, gram, second) system.
