We want to compare two prefixes, kilo and tera, and see why one seems to be more important than the other.
The prefix "kilo" is used for thousands, while the prefix "tera" is used for trillions.
Now if you go to your day-to-day life, you will see that the thousands appear a lot more than the trillions.
For example, is more common to walk one or two kilometers than one terameter.
Or also is more common to buy a kilogram of potatoes than one teragram of potatoes.
This is mainly why kilo is more important (actually is more used, I wouldn't say that is more important) than tera.
