They can be appropriate. The answer has nothing whatsoever to do with the units of measurement: the appropriateness depends on the distribution of the variable that is being measured.

Should you use the median or mean to describe a data set if the data are not skewed?

If the data set is not skewed, either the median or the mean can be used to describe it, as they will likely provide similar values. However, the mean is often preferred for its mathematical properties and ease of interpretation, especially in normally distributed data. The median can still be useful if you want to highlight the middle value without the influence of outliers. Ultimately, the choice may depend on the context and specific characteristics of the data.
