Pluto is roughly 38 AU from the Sun, while Jupiter lies at roughly 5.2 AU.
For very large distances within the solar system, such as regions beyond Pluto or the orbital circumferences of planets, the terameter (Tm, one billion kilometers) is sometimes used.
Despite the fact that many diagrams (like the at the top of this article), for practicality's sake, represent the solar system as having each orbit the same distance apart, in actuality the orbits are largely arranged geometrically, that is, each is roughly double the distance from the Sun as the one before it.

How to Read the Metric Prefix Table The following table shows some of the common metric prefixes, their symbols and power-of-ten equivalents.
To find how much a terameter is look up the prefix “tera” in the “Metric Prefix” column.
The power of ten for this prefix is 1012, so a terameter is 1012 meters.

Definitely, though I'd qualify your use of the term "metric" to specifically mean SI, instead of more conventional meanings of the term "meric." Meters, kilograms, seconds, amperes (and other supplementary units).
Though I think gigameter and terameter would be more fluid and useful (and they're already being used) than giga-kilometer and tera-kilometer, as that's just a terameter and a petameter, respectively.
Anybody catch the article in _Science News_ about the extra drafted official SI prefixes?
