What is a metric time system?

Answer 1

Metric time is the measure of time interval using the metric system, which defines the second as the base unit of time, and multiple and submultiple units formed with metric prefixes, such as kiloseconds and milliseconds.

Answer 2

A metric time system is a system of time measurement where units are based on powers of 10. This differs from traditional time systems like hours and minutes. One example is the French Revolutionary Calendar, which divided the day into 10 hours, each hour into 100 minutes, and each minute into 100 seconds.
