In the US, SI units are commonly used in scientific fields, like physics and chemistry, as well as in industries like manufacturing and engineering. However, some traditional units, such as Fahrenheit for temperature and inches for length, continue to be used alongside SI units in everyday life and certain sectors. Nevertheless, there is a push towards full adoption of the International System of Units (SI) in the US to promote standardization and ease of communication in a global context.
SI units are used mostly in the scientific field in the US. Almost every country in the world use them for everyday measurements, but the US uses the US Customary System. Using the SI units in the scientific field makes it possible for scientists to share information without having to convert the measurements.SI units are used mostly in the scientific field in the US.

The principal SI units used to derive all other SI units are the base SI units. These are the units for physical quantities such as length, time, mass, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity.
When SI units combine, they create derived SI units that are used to express physical quantities. These derived units are formed by multiplying or dividing the base SI units. Examples include the Newton (kg*m/s^2) for force and the Pascal (N/m^2) for pressure.
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 The old British system using feet and pounds is now largely superseded though it is still used in some more traditional industry, especially in the US.
There are different units for measuring different attributes.
SI units
Sort of. US measurements are now for the most part defined in terms of SI units. Also, a few SI units such as "seconds" are used directly.

The basic unit of time is the same in both the SI and US systems . . . the second.

The three systems of units in physics are the International System of Units (SI), the British Imperial System, and the US Customary System. The SI system is the most widely used and accepted system in the scientific community, while the British Imperial and US Customary systems are primarily used in the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively.

There are different units for measuring different attributes.
You may not have any units. Standard units are not used in data on household size, for example.
