'''Measurement''' is the act of determining an object's quantifiable properties. These properties may include such things as [[mass]], [[volume]], [[length]], [[width]], [[temperature]], [[viscosity]], [[electrical charge]], and others. Standard units of measurement are called [[International System of Units|SI]] units and are typically staggered in powers of 10 (e.g. a kilogram is a 1000 grams; a meter is a hundred centimeters). | '''Measurement''' is the act of determining an object's quantifiable properties.
