The International System of Units is used for?
It's used for all measurement in most of the world. This is also called the metric system; SI is the French abbreviation for System International - and it's used internationally. The US is the most obvious country that doesn't use metric units for everyday measure, although these units are used in science and medicine among others.
What units does the US use to measure distance?
The US is one of the 3 remaining countries that still use Imperial (old British) units to measure distance. They therefore uses feet, inches and miles. The rest of the world uses the international standard decimal units relating to the Metre.
Is heat measured in units?

What unit is used for measuring distance?
There are MANY units used to measure distances both in Metric and in English types. We use Feet and Yards to measure distances in the US. The academic field often uses metric units like meters and kilometers to measure distances. For larger or massive distances there are the units of miles (English) and Kilomiters (Metric) and then in space we have the Astonomical Unit (Distance from earth to Sun) and the Light Year for the biggest distances. And there are the smaller measures of inches and millimeters.
Combination of the SI base units used to measure quantities such as volume speed and pressure are called?
A system of measurements. SI is the most used world-wide now (Systeme Internationale). The old British system using feet and pounds is now largely superseded though it is still used in some more traditional industry, especially in the US.
Why is units are important?
It enables us to measure things.
What units are used to measure the strength of an electromagnet in US and Metric systems?
Magentic flux density is measured in tesla (T).

How do you convert minutes into miles?
You can't. 'Minutes' are used to measure time or 60ths of a degree, but 'miles' are used to measure length or distance. The two units are used to measure completely different quantities, they have different physical units, and neither one can be converted into the other one. If they could, then you'd be able to tell us how many miles old you are.
What is heat typically measured in?
The word "heat" as used in physics refers to heat energy, so it is logically measured in units of energy. The international unit for energy is the joule. Heat energy is sometimes still measured in the old-fashioned unit "calorie" instead.
What unit is temperature measured in?
There are 3 units of measure for Temperature:Fahrenheit (the most commonly used unit in the US)Celsius (Commonly used in the UK)Kelvin (used in universities in physics courses)

What is 6.38billion?
According to the US units of measure; 6.38 billion = 6.38 x 109 = 6380 millions According to the European and SI units of measure; 6.38 billion is 6.38 x 1012
What is the substance in a digital thermometer that tells us the temperature?
I don't think any substance is used in digital thermometer but according to my views "HEAT SENSORS" are used to measure the temperature.

What unit of measure is smaller than a foot?
There are many units of measure smaller than a foot. In standard US measure 12 inches equal one foot.
