Reply to comment by StupidLemonEater in ELI5: Why isn't the Litre (L) considered a "non-SI" unit? by enby-millennial-613

I'm learning a lot from this thread. I thought hectare was an SI unit lol.

In SI there's:

m for length

m^(2) for area

m^(3) for volume.

No need for L, hectares, etc. It's glorious.

There are a lot of other metric units that aren’t SI, for example calorie, Celsius, dyne, statcoulomb.

I thought Joule was the SI unit for energy rather than calorie?
