Listed below are all conversion factors that are useful to convert between all combinations of the SI base units, and if not possible, between them and their unique elements, because ampere is a dimensionless ratio of two lengths such as , and candela (1/683 ) is a dimensionless ratio of two

The small numerical size of the few conversion factors reflects the fact that relativistic effects are only noticeable when large masses or high speeds are considered.

The geometrized unit system is not a completely defined system. Some systems are geometrized unit systems in the sense that they set these, in addition to other

In geometric units, every time interval is interpreted as the distance travelled by light during that given time interval. That is, one
