Base units are the fundamental units that define the SI system.

There are seven base units in the International System of Units (SI): metre (m), kilogram (kg), second (s), ampere (A), kelvin (K), mole (mol), and candela (cd).
Base units are the foundation for all other units in the SI system, known as derived units.
They provide a standardized way of measuring physical quantities.
The SI system is used globally for scientific and technical measurements.
Accurate definitions of base units are essential for consistency in measurements across different fields of science.
Base units are defined by fundamental physical constants and universal properties.
