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.
