The hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers. Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements.
To convert between Hectometer (hm) and Megameter (Mm), use the following formulas:
1 Hectometer (hm) = 0.0001 Megameter (Mm)
1 Megameter (Mm) = 10000 Hectometer (hm)
1 hm = 1 * 0.0001 Mm = 0.0001 Mm
2 hm = 2 * 0.0001 Mm = 0.0002 Mm
5 hm = 5 * 0.0001 Mm = 0.0005 Mm
10 hm = 10 * 0.0001 Mm = 0.001 Mm
| Hectometer (hm) | Megameter (Mm) |
|---|---|
| 1 hm | 0.0001 Mm |
| 2 hm | 0.0002 Mm |
| 5 hm | 0.0005 Mm |
| 10 hm | 0.001 Mm |
| 20 hm | 0.002 Mm |
| 50 hm | 0.005 Mm |
