Most objects dimensions can be measured in km, from a pen right up to the width of a galaxy and beyond. the thing is that is gets a bit meaning less at the extremes, it become inappropriate to measure things in km. Anything less than one kilometer, and you start to use meters, millimeter's, nanometers etc.
Similarly, anything over a few million km on an astronomical scale, and you start to use astronomical units (AU) where one AU is the earth to sun distance. Bigger still, and you start to use lightyears, or even mega or gigalightyears (millions or billions of lightyears).
in general, anything between 1 and 150,000,000 km (1AU) is ok for using km.

Are very small objects measured in kilometers?
Kilometers are units of one thousand meters, so they measure distance. Items that would be measured in kilometers are road lengths or air miles traveled.
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.
