I think the fact that you intuitively know which unit should come next is kinda the point though. What’s after a mile? An armpit? How many miles to pit? Is that the same for a nautical pit? Are satellite orbits measured in regular pits or nautical pits?

Yeah, but satellites don’t orbit at 2 - 200 megameters, they orbit at 2,000 to 200,000 kilometers for some reason.

You do see Mm and Gm sometimes in telemetries and infographics

Except a professor from my grad times. In classroom. His examples were always “consider a sphere with a circumference of 40.0 Mm” and stuff like this.

We should absolutely say one megagram instead of one ton

Gigagram for everything. Just make it scientific for grams.
Yea this is 3,56e-6 Gigagram, I like my steak big.!
