I think the fact that you intuitively know which unit should come next is kinda the point though. What’s after a mile? An armpit? How many miles to pit? Is that the same for a nautical pit? Are satellite orbits measured in regular pits or nautical pits?
Yeah, but satellites don’t orbit at 2 - 200 megameters, they orbit at 2,000 to 200,000 kilometers for some reason.

You do see Mm and Gm sometimes in telemetries and infographics. Sadly no one uses it in spoken language though
