Sometimes you need a very large, or a very small, amount of a certain unit. One way to deal with that is to use prefixes like kilo, mega, milli, micro, and others.

SI is an abbreviation for System of Units?
International System of Units (SI)
What is the longest measurement in mathematics?
You can use any of the standard SI prefixes with the standard unit of length, the meter. However, it's more common to use non-SI units: astronomical units, light-years, and parsecs for large distances, especially in astronomy. The largest of these is the parsec; but you can also use metric prefixes with that, e.g., kiloparsec, or megaparsec.

Is femo a si prefix?
No, "femo" is not a SI prefix. The SI (International System of Units) prefixes are used to denote multiples or fractions of base units in the metric system, such as kilo-, mega-, milli-, etc.
What is the base units for length and mass?
The SI (Systeme International) units for mass is the kilogram. For length, it is the Metre, and for volume, the Litre. Note the system is known as the International System, (SI). The International Bureau for Weights and Measures is located near Paris France, the on their web site they have lots of useful information, including for example, the prefixes for the multiples and sub-multiples. Such as Mega, and micro.
What unit of force is smaller than the newton?
The dyne is a unit of force that is smaller than the newton. 1 newton is equal to 100,000 dynes.
What are the divisions of metric system?
For units larger or smaller than the base units, you can use prefixes such as kilo (x 1000), Mega (x 1 million), milli (x 0.001), micro (x 0.000 001), etc.; for a complete list, search the Wikipedia for "SI prefixes".
What measure is volume in units?
milliliters, deciliters, litersAnswer:The official SI unit for volume is the cubic meter. Surprisingly, the liter is not the official SI unit of volume, although is is commonly accepted as such and used with metric prefixes.
Which SI units can be used to describe the measurment of volume?
The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m^3), but for smaller volumes, the liter (L) is often used.
What is the metric unit for length and for mass?
The SI (Systeme International) units for mass is the kilogram. For length, it is the Metre, and for volume, the Litre. Note the system is known as the International System, (SI).

Such as Mega, and micro.
Which one is larger megagram or centigram?
Please take a look at the Wikipedia article "SI prefixes". There you can see the values of prefixes such as "mega", "kilo", and others. The prefixes are the same for all units. For example, "micro" always means a millionth, whether it is applied to gram, to hertz, to seconds, etc.
Which is Not an SI base unit secondKilogramdegree Celsius Matter?
Actually neither are official SI units — neither of the two “gallons”, imperial or US the units of length are organized in units of 1000, one metre is subdivided into 1000 milimetres and i kilometre is 1000 metres. A centimetre as 10 mm and one hundredth of a metre is related to SI units of length, but it is not SI. However it is useful when I’m doing woodwork which is more than I can for whatever “gallon”.
