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.

Which is bigger a square kilometer or a square mile?
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.
What is bigger a kilometer or centimeter?
A kilometer is bigger than a centimeter. There are 100,000 centimeters in a kilometer.
Which is bigger mile or a kilometer?
A mile is longer than a kilometer. One mile is approximately 1.609 kilometers.
Is a kilometer geater than a 600 centerimeter?
Yes, a kilometer is greater than 600 centimeters. There are 100 centimeters in a meter and 1000 meters in a kilometer, so a kilometer is equal to 100,000 centimeters. Therefore, 600 centimeters is much smaller than a kilometer.
Is there a bigger metric measurement than a kilometer?
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.
