The main difference between the metric system and the imperial system is that the metric system is based on a decimal system, while the imperial system is based on a duodecimal system. In the metric system, one meter is equal to 100 centimeters, which are equal to 1 liter of water, which is equal to 1000 grams of mass. In the imperial system, there are 12 inches in 1 foot, 16 ounces in 1 pint, and 8 pints in 1 quart.
