The metric system is easier to learn and use, while the imperial system uses somewhat arbitrary numbers, such as 32 degrees for the freezing point of water. Which one you consider better all comes down to personal preference. It should be noted, however, that the United States is now the only country in the world still using the imperial measurement system.
The choice between metric and imperial depends on where you are and what you are comfortable with. Most countries use the metric system as it is easier for calculations and conversions. However, some people may prefer imperial for certain applications or for personal reasons. Each system has its advantages and disadvantages.
