Measurement is the process of assigning a numerical value to quantify a specific attribute or characteristic of an object or phenomenon. It involves comparing an unknown quantity to a known standard unit of measurement to determine its magnitude. The purpose of measurement is to obtain accurate and precise data, enabling scientists, engineers, and researchers to understand, analyze, and communicate quantitative information effectively. Measurements are essential in various fields, including physics, chemistry, engineering, economics, and everyday aspects of life. They provide a common language and a reliable means for making comparisons, validating theories, and decision-making.
