There are two main metric unit systems: MKS (meters, kilograms, seconds) and CGS (centimeters,grams, seconds) although there are others.
For MKS, length is in meters, mass is in kilograms, volume is a derived unit which would be cubic meters (m^3).
For CGS, length is in centimeters, mass is in grams, volume is cubic centimeters (cm^3).
