It doesn't make sense to measure buildings on the order of a kilometer, since no building comes close to reaching that height.

Why say that the tallest building in the world is "0.828 kilometers" tall when you could just say it's "828 meters" tall?

Why VAR meter does not measure real and apparent power?

A VAr meter only measures the reactive (imaginary) power. Apparent power is a combination of real and reactive power; thus having a VAr meter will not suffice to measure apparent power. Likewise, because the VAr meter only measures reactive power, it does not provide any information on real power.
