A metric tonne (1000 kg) should be called a megagram (1 Mg).

Earth's circumference is 40 Mm. 1 AU is 14 Gm. I could get used to this.

The moon is 400Mm away. Never say thousand kilometers again, the mega is the way.

Imaging if we started saying millions of kilobytes instead of GB.

The Andromeda galaxy is ~23.6 Zm away. The metric system reaches far.
