Time: second - defined by vibrations of a particular atom. ("the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom.")
Distance: metre - defined by the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458th of a second.
Current: Ampere - the definition of this one is rather complex. It measures the force between two wires, 1m apart in a vacuum. If they carry a current of 1A, the force between the wires is 10-7 Newtons.
Temperature: Kelvin - 0 K is defined to be absolute zero (zero thermal energy) and 273.16 Kelvin is defined to be the Triple Point of water (0.01 degree Celsius), the rest is linear.
Luminosity: Candela - This measures the power output of a light source in a particular direction, per unit area. It is currently defined as 540 x 1012 Hz light, emitting 1/683 Watts per steradian.
Mole: amount of something - Defined as the number of atoms in 12g of pure Carbon-12.
Mass: kilogram - defined according to a standard kilogram held in a vault in France. Work is ongoing to come up with a Universal definition.
i think these are the seven basic units in SI unit in my physics book
length = metre = m
mass = kilogram = kg
time = second = s
electric current = ampere = A
temperate = kelvin = K
volume = cubic metre = m3
area = square metre = m2

please discuss about this answer in the discussion board since this may not be fully correct or improve the answer
there are many si units in many fields like force SI unit is newton
and more
There are several "metric systems"; the question probably refers to the most recent version, the SI (Système international d'unités):
kilogram for mass
meter for length
second for time
Ampere for electric current
mole for amount of substance
Kelvin for temperature
candela for luminous intensity
Other units are derived from these 7, for example, meters squared for surface, meters per second for velocity, etc.
The ratio of CGS unit to SI unit of energy is 1 CGS unit to 10^7 SI units. This means that 1 erg in CGS units is equivalent to 10^-7 joules in SI units when measuring energy.
There are 7 base SI units and all other are defined using these 7 base units. See the related question below:[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_all_the_SI_unitsWhat are all SI units?]
No, a meter is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m^3).
The Kelvin is the SI unit for thermodynamic temperature.
The Siemens is the SI unit for the connectivity.

Yes. Meter is the unit of length; it is one of the 7 SI base units.

The kilogram is one of the 7 basic units of the SI (the current metric system).
Yes. It is one of the 7 base units. Kilogram is a unit of mass.
I believe that it will be meter. SI unit goes by 10's. what is the sI unit for lengthThe basic SI unit of length is meter.the basic si unit of lenght is metric.The SI base unit for length is meter. For temperature, the SI base unit is kelvin.
No, it isn't even an SI unit. The SI unit for mass is the kilogram. The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter.
The joule is an SI unit!
No, a meter is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m^3).
The gram is an SI unit. However, the SI base unit is the kilogram, not the gram.
The Kelvin is the SI unit for thermodynamic temperature.
The same as the SI unit for energy - the joule.The same as the SI unit for energy - the joule.The same as the SI unit for energy - the joule.The same as the SI unit for energy - the joule.
