In theory you could put any of the prefixes like "mega", "giga" etc. in front of "metre", and they would be valid units. A megametre would be bigger than a kilometre. But no-one normally uses megametre as a unit.

Yes, the next larger metric measurement after a kilometer is a megameter, which is equivalent to one million meters.
Yes, I found three: a centner = 100 kilograms
A metric ton, or tonne, equals 1000 kilograms.
A kiloton, or kilotonne, equals 1000 kilotons, or 1 million kilograms.
Yes.
A megametre (106 metres), gigametre (109 metres) etc;
An Astronomical Unit (AU) = 149 597 871 km
A light year = 9.4607 *1012 km
A parsec = 3.08568 * 1013 km
In the metric system, a decimeter is bigger than a centimeter. There are 10 decimeters in a meter, and each decimeter is equivalent to 10 centimeters.
A kilometer is a measure of length, a squared kilometer is a square representing the area of a kilometer squared. Each side is a kilometer in length. You cant really compare the two, length and area are two different types of measurement's I suppose based on the simplicity of the question, that a square kilometer is larger.
A kilometer is bigger than a centimeter. There are 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer.
A ton is used for 1000 kilograms. SI allows metric prefixes for larger units (Mega, Giga, Tera...), but those are not typically used for large masses. Instead, larger masses are simply expressed in kilograms, or in tons. For very large masses, like planets or stars, it is common to express the mass in kilograms - using scientific notation of course.
A mile is longer than a kilometer. One mile is approximately 1.609 kilometers.
