Easier to communicate if everyone is speaking the same language
Easier to do math because it is all in base 10

What is the difference between Mass and Volume?
Mass is how many atoms are in an object, volume is how much space that object takes up.

The process by which plants release water vapor into the air through small openings in their leaves, similar to how humans sweat.
Define Model.
A model does one of three things - it makes big things small; small things big; or complex things simple - in order to explain a phenomenon
How are clouds formed? In your answer use the terms evaporation, condensation, and cloud condensation nuclei.
Evaporation: Water from oceans, lakes, rivers, or even wet soil heats up and turns into water vapor, rising into the air.
Condensation: As the water vapor rises, it cools down in the higher, colder parts of the atmosphere. When it cools enough, the vapor changes back into tiny water droplets.
Cloud Condensation Nuclei (CCN): The water droplets need something to cling to, like tiny particles of dust or smoke in the air. These are called cloud condensation nuclei, and they give the droplets a surface to form on. When millions of these droplets gather together around CCN, we see them as a cloud.
What is the difference between volume and capacity?
Volume is how much space something takes up, capacity is how much something can hold.
