The square kilometer (km²) measures large territories and geographic areas. Central Park in New York covers 3.41 km², while Paris occupies about 105 km². This unit is essential for urban planning, environmental studies, and country-size comparisons. The square meter (m²) is the fundamental unit of area in the metric system. It's used worldwide for measuring rooms (a parking space is ~12 m²), construction projects, and land plots. A standard badminton court is about 81.8 m², while a tennis court is approximately 260 m² including the alleys.
To convert between Square Kilometer (km²) and Square Meter (m²), use the following formulas:
1 Square Kilometer (km²) = 1000000 Square Meter (m²)
1 Square Meter (m²) = 0.000001 Square Kilometer (km²)
1 km² = 1 * 1000000 m² = 1000000 m²
5 km² = 5 * 1000000 m² = 5000000 m²
10 km² = 10 * 1000000 m² = 10000000 m²
100 km² = 100 * 1000000 m² = 100000000 m²
| Square Kilometer (km²) | Square Meter (m²) |
|---|---|
| 1 km² | 1000000 m² |
| 5 km² | 5000000 m² |
| 10 km² | 10000000 m² |
| 50 km² | 50000000 m² |
| 100 km² | 100000000 m² |
