CGS system:- It stands for Centimeter, Gram and Second. These are the units that are used for the measurement of length, mass and time.
MKS system:- It stands for Metre, Kilogram and Second which are the units used for length, mass and time in this system.
SI unit:- It stands for standard units that includes the 7 fundamental units and the two supplementary units(radian, sterdian).
