The metric system is based on powers of 10, making conversions straightforward. The base unit is the meter, originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole.
The Imperial system, used primarily in the United States, has historical origins based on human body parts and everyday objects. Conversions are less intuitive than the metric system.
