The metric system uses a decimal system of measurement based on multiples and submultiples of 10. It defines standard units of length as the meter, mass as the gram, and capacity as the liter. These standard units are sometimes too large or too small for specific uses, so prefixes are added to create larger or smaller units that are more appropriate for different measurement needs.
