When the metric system was originally developed, the standard unit for mass was the mass of a liter of water as ice, which is one kilogram.
The Celsius temperature scale (and also the Kelvin scale) is also based on water. The boiling point of water (at sea level) is 100 degres Celsius, and freezing is 0 degrees Celsius.

What is the boiling point of water in metric system?
The boiling point of water in the metric system is 100 degrees Celsius.
Is the milligram part of the US metric system?
The milligram is part of the SI system of measurements, it represents 1/1000 of a gram. One gram is the weight of one milliliter of pure water at 4 C. So the answer is no. The metric system is international, not US.
What liquid is standard for measuring?
The standard liquid for measuring volume in the metric system is water.
What thermometer is based on the metric system?
That depends on what units the thermometer is calibrated in. The SI unit for temperature is the kelvin, but degrees Celsius commonly used, if the thermometer reads in kelvin or degrees Celsius then it is a metric tool.
Is Celsius English or Metric measure?
Celsius is a metric measure used for temperature. It is a commonly used unit in the metric system to measure temperature, where water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
What substance has the density of 1.0?
in the metric system water has a density of 1 g/ml.
What is the boiling point of water in metric system?
The boiling point of water in the metric system is 100 degrees Celsius.
What is the advantage to the metric system?
The main advantage of the metric system is that it is very logical. One example that illustrates this is water. 1 litre of water weighs 1kg 1 metric tonne (1000kg) of water will take up the volume of approximately one cubic meter Water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C These simple concepts make metric calculation very easy.
Does water have the same weight as volume?
Only in the metric system. The metric system bases its unit of weight, the gram, on the weight of one millilitre of water. Therefore one litre of water (or other liquid which is mostly water) weighs one kilogram (1000 grams)
Is the milligram part of the US metric system?
The milligram is part of the SI system of measurements, it represents 1/1000 of a gram. One gram is the weight of one milliliter of pure water at 4 C. So the answer is no. The metric system is international, not US.

What liquid is standard for measuring?
The standard liquid for measuring volume in the metric system is water.
Is Celsius English or Metric measure?
Celsius is a metric measure used for temperature. It is a commonly used unit in the metric system to measure temperature, where water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
How are kilograms and liter related?
1 liter of water will weigh exactly 1 kilogram. The base for the metric system is water.
The standard metric unit of volume is the what?
The standard unit of volume in the metric system is liter or litre. By using decimal prefixes we can arrive at smaller or larger units of measure. It is no coincidence that there is a relationship between liter as volume, meter as distance and water:1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1 kilogram of water at 4° C.
