SI stands for the French système international. It is basically the international system

of units. The system was created to be a coherent consolidation of all the forms of

measurements. Because it is a universal system used by everyone internationally (except

Liberia, Myanmar, and the USA) it means conversions are usually not necessary.

Conversions between units also become easier because the system was designed

that way (notice how factors are nearly always powers of 10).

Scientists use the SI system of measurement because it provides a standardized and internationally recognized set of units that are easy to convert between. This consistency allows for accurate and precise measurements in experiments and data analysis, making it easier to communicate and replicate results across different countries and scientific disciplines.
