Units of measurement are used to quantify and compare physical attributes such as length (e.g. meters, feet), weight (e.g. kilograms, pounds), time (e.g. seconds, hours), volume (e.g. liters, gallons), and temperature (e.g. Celsius, Fahrenheit). Different units are used based on the quantity being measured and the context in which the measurement is being applied.
