The main difference between the metric system and the imperial system is that the metric system uses base units of measurement, such as meters, kilograms, liters, etc., while the imperial system uses base units of measurement based on the size of objects. For example, in the metric system, one meter is equal to 1,000 millimeters, but in the imperial system, one foot is equal to 12 inches.
