1 kilometre is larger than 1 millimetre.In the metric system:the milli- prefix means one thousandth (1/1000);the kilo- prefix means one thousand (1000);thus1 kilometre is 1000 metre;1 millimetre is 1/1000 metre.
Deci- this is very rarely used as the modern metric system uses a factor of 1000 between prefixes rather 10.
