As a minimum, all measurements are recorded with a number and a multiplier known as a unit. For example, we might state an object is two meters in length. This is symbolically written 2 m, where the m is the symbol for [[Meter|meters]].
## Examples
[[Time]], [[Mass]], [[Distance]], [[Length]], volume, temperature, and [[Energy]]
