The megametre is one million metres, an exact decimal prefix on the SI base unit. It is the convenient scale for planetary bodies: the Earth's mean radius is 6.371 Mm, its equatorial circumference just over 40 Mm, and the Moon's orbit about 384 Mm across.

Watch out: Almost nobody writes it. Planetary radii are quoted in kilometres in practice, so a figure in megametres will usually need converting before anyone else will read it.
