They are the units of measurement for mass and distance. They can take on standard prefices of the metric system which will result in multiplication or division of these units by powers of ten.

For example, kilo = *1000 so that a kilogram = 1000 grams and a kilometre = 1000 metres. Or, micro = 1 millionth so that 1 microgram = 1 millionth of a gram and a micrometre = 1 millionth of a metre.
