Haha, luckily for you.. I have physics this semester.
The prefixes giga, mega, kilo, centi, milli, micro, and nano are to show the size of the measurement.
The suffixes gram, meter, grade are to show the type of measurement.
For example, Gram is a unit of weight so a kilogram is one thousand grams. or 1000 units of weight.
There is a pretty decent web site to explain this at

Good luck.
centi 10^-2
milli 10^-3
micro 10^-6
nano 10^-9
pico 10^-12..
eg. 1 cm=10mm
