The SI has 7 base units: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit
Also, the SI has tens of derived units - perhaps hundreds of them, since you can combine the base units in many ways. Those units are ultimately derived from the 7 base units. For example, units for area, volume, speed, force, energy, pressure, electric charge, voltage, and many more, are derived from some of the base units. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_derived_unit
No, not all metric units are part of the International System of Units (SI). The SI is a coherent system of units derived from the metric system, but it is more specific and defined, and not all metric units are included in the SI.
"SI", from the French "Systeme Internationale".
SI is also known as The International System of Units Please, do not mistake SI for the former, now obsolete, designation 'metric system'
There are many systems. A system is a collection of units which are used together. The two commonest are the SI units, based on the metric system, and imperial units (feet, pounds etc.)
ANSWER: It stands for Systeme Internationale

SI means "International System [of Units]" (from the French abbreviation).
10. SI units are based on the decimal system. For many purposes they can be seen as based on a system of 1000.
SI Units
"si" stands for the International System of Units, which is the modern form of the metric system. It is based on seven base units, one of which is the meter for length.
SI units are more accurate than English system units
Because SI units are globally recognised (with the exception of Burma, Liberia and USA). SI stands for 'System International' See the related link to WIkipedia for more information.
