While not all of the SI prefixes are Latin, the SI prefixes between 1024 and 10-24, in descending order, are as follows:

1021 - zetta
1018 - exa
1015 - peta
1012 - tera
109 - giga
106 - mega
103 - kilo
102 - hecto
101 - deca


10-1 - deci
10-2 - centi
10-3 - milli
10-6 - micro
10-9 - nano
10-12 - pico
10-15 - femto
10-18 - atto
10-21 - zepto
10-24 - yocto


The following prefixes do not derive from Latin:


pico- (10-12): derives from Italian piccolo ("small")
femto- (10-15): derives from Danish femten ("fifteen")
atto- (10-18): derives from Danish atten ("eighteen")
yocto- (10-21): derives from Greek οκτώ ("eight")
