One of the wonderful things about the metric system is the use of prefixes to move decimal points around to cover a huge range of values. So, for example, if one had 0.000000000001 Joules and one had 1,000,000 Joules, those two values could be expressed as 1 picoJoules and one MegaJoules respectively. So, what does "kilo" stand for and how does that answer your question?
