The unit used is the astronomical unit, defined as the semimajor axis (mean radius) of the Earth's orbit.
The distances are scaled according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. The fundamental distance is the distance to Venus on a close approach, which was measured accurately by triangulation from two points on the Earth's surface during a transit.

What object can you measure in kilometers?
Kilometers are more likely to be used to measure the distance between two places, rather than the size of objects, since in our normal experience, objects are more likely to be measured by meters or centimeters rather than by kilometers. However, the diameter of planets and their moons, or of the sun or stars, can be measured in kilometers.
