How come people say 5,000 km and not 5 Mm?
why not just say millions of meters or Mega meters?

I’ve always found that strange. I guess a kilogram is a lot closer to “human scale” than a gram, maybe that’s why they picked it.

Having meter as a base unit makes more sense than kg because meter lacks any prefix.
