The metric system is a more widespread system of measurement used internationally, including units such as meters, kilograms, and liters. The metric system is based on powers of ten, making conversions between units easier compared to the English system.

The English system and the metric system.
English units were the historical units of measurement used in England up to 1824. By the late 20th century, they officially adopted the metric system as their main system of measurement.
In the metric system, the units of measurement of Volume is the Liter (sometimes spelled Litre) and the measurement for mass would be the gram. In the American system, the units of measurement for Volume is the ounce, and for mass would be the pound.
