The International System of Units (SI) is a widely used system of measurement adopted by most countries around the world. It is used to measure physical quantities such as length, mass, time, temperature, and many others. Some synonyms used in place of SI systems include the metric system, the modern system, and the Systeme International d'Unites. The metric system is the most commonly used synonym for the SI system, as it uses the same units and prefixes. The modern system is often used to describe the SI system because of its updated definitions and standards. Systeme International d'Unites is another synonym used to describe the SI system, which is the original name given to the system.
