You’re talking to an American. They use anything but a logical system. To explain to them what a kilometer is, you need to put yourself in their position and go from that. Let me help:
A kilometer is:
~167 Ford F-150’s,
~1,150 dishwashers,
~5,556 bibles,
~5,263 bananas,
~1,250 AR-15’s,
~0.62 miles,
~3,281 feet,
~39,370 inches,
etc.
To make sense to an American, you need to not make any sense. This includes swapping the period and comma around in numbers, but you already did that.
A kilometer is
0.000,000,000,000,001 Exameters
0.000,000,000,001 Petameters
0.000,000,001 Terameters
0.000,001 Gigameters
0.001 Megameters
1 Kilometer
10 Hectometer
100 Dekameter
1,000 Meter
10,000 Decimeter
100,000 Centimeter
1,000,000 Millimeter
1,000,000,000 Micrometer
1,000,000,000,000 Nanometer
1,000,000,000,000,000 Picometer
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Femtometer
or
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Attometer

I would call it an upvote, but I will give you +1 Eagle Scream for the accuracy of your AR-15 unit measurement.
Same accuracy as seen during school shootings, am I right?
(you forgot 3 zeroes in Picometer)
thank you for pointing it out :-)
Thanks man, that really cleared it up. I understand now.
