Time is measured by milliseconds, tenths of a second, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades and centuries.
ADDED: IN other words, all the familiar units; but for many scientific purposes working in small physical scales, the ISO unit of time is the second (abbr. "s").

The most common unit of time used in science is the second. It varies depending on the field, though. Geology and cosmology may measure time the Ba, billions of years while a spectroscopist may use fs, femtoseconds, or 10^-15s.
In the metric system, time is typically measured in seconds, minutes, and hours. Additionally, larger units such as days, weeks, and years are also used for longer durations of time.

Yes, seconds are a metric unit. They are part of the International System of Units (SI) and are used to measure time.
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.
Time is typically measured in seconds in the metric system. Other units that can be used for longer time intervals include minutes, hours, or days, but they are not part of the official SI units for time.
The SI (metric) system uses the same units of time.
