The Earth weighs about six ronnagram, Jupiter about two quettagram and the diameter of the observable universe is about one ronnametre. Those are the new SI prefixes representing ronna (10^27) and quetta (10^30).

At the other end you have the ronto (10^-27) and quecto (10^-30). A ronto is useful for expressing the flux density of a radio emission (Jansky) which is 10^-26 Watts Metre^-2 Hertz^-1.
