Why is it important that scientists in different countries check their ways of measuring a KG against the same standard mass?

When someone describes something as having a mass of one kilogram, it is important that everyone else understands what one kilogram is. Therefore there has to be an agreed definition of a kilogram. This means there has to be a standard kilogram that everyone can use to set their own kilogram. At present the standard kilogram is a block of platinum held in Paris, there are plans to redefine the kilogram in terms of the reaction between a fixed magnet and the magnetic field set up by an electric current passing through a wire, the kilogram will still weigh the same but the means of setting it will change.

What are two reasons a common measuring system is important?
a) The use of a common measuring system makes it easier for people from different countries to communicate with each other. b) The use of a common measuring system means a maesurement in that unit has the same value anywhere in the world.
How do scientists measure temperature in cold places?
same as measuring it in warm or hot places.
What important discoveries about earth the planets and the sun came from the scientists of Alexandria?
They found the diameter of the Earth by measuring the angle of the Sun above the horizon at noon at two different places, Alexandria and Aswan. The 7 degree difference gave the Earth's circumference as 360/7 times the distance between those two cities.

USA, Liberia and Burma.
Why do you think it is important that scientists in different countries all check their ways of measuring a kilogram against the same standard mass?
To ensure that no no matter what country you are working in, the units of measurement you are using are the same across the world and therefore that experiments are repeatable.
Why are measurement important to scientists?
Measurements are important not only to scientists. And not all kind of scientists need measuring tools. Measuring instruments are mostly used by engineers, technicians. Engineeers use mostly calculators, it is their main device. There are test laboratories, telescopes, microscopes, a wide range of sophisticated equipment used by scientists. In fact measuring intruments are used by all technicians, engineers, and a lot of scientists on their respective fiedls.
