Kilometers
Explanation
The question asks us to find the best suitable units of measure for the distance of 178,000,000 millimeters. Since distances are usually not given in such large values in millimeters, it would be more suitable, for sake of simplicity, to convert this value to a larger unit. There are different measurment units like centimeters (cm), decimters (dm), meters(m) kilometers(km) and so on. 10 millimeters make a centimeter, 100 centimeters (or 1,000 millimeters) make a meter and 1,000 meters (or 1,000,000 millimeters) make a kilometer. Therefore, 178000000 millimeters are equivalent to 178 kilometers.
