1. It is an international standard, so everybody uses the same measurements. 2. Because it uses prefixes with powers of ten, conversions are much simpler. For example, to convert 7 kilometers to meters, you just add 3 zeroes.

Sure! Please provide the quantities you want me to express in prefixes.
Some prefixes that start with "im-" include "impossible," "imperfect," and "immature." These prefixes typically indicate negation or reversal of the word following them.
Linear measurements in the metric system are based on the meter, which is the fundamental unit of length. Other units such as centimeters, millimeters, and kilometers are derived from the meter using prefixes.

Using scientific prefixes helps to standardize measurements and make them easier to understand and compare. They also make it easier to express very large or very small values without having to write out a lot of zeros. This promotes clarity and precision in scientific communication.

The prefixes "kilo-" and "mega-" are closest in size, as "kilo-" represents 1,000 (10^3) and "mega-" represents 1,000,000 (10^6). They are adjacent to each other on the International System of Units (SI) scale.
