Used in planetary science (Earth's diameter = ~12.7 Mm). Also for long-distance fiber optics or satellite measurements. The Kilometer (km) is used for longer distances like city-to-city travel (e.g., 50 km), marathon races (42.195 km), or highway spans (e.g., 100 km). It's also used in aviation and sports like cycling.
To convert between Megameter (Mm) and Kilometer (km), use the following formulas:
1 Megameter (Mm) = 1000 Kilometer (km)
1 Kilometer (km) = 0.001 Megameter (Mm)
1 Mm = 1 * 1000 km = 1000 km
2.4 Mm = 2.4 * 1000 km = 2400 km
5 Mm = 5 * 1000 km = 5000 km
10 Mm = 10 * 1000 km = 10000 km
| Megameter (Mm) | Kilometer (km) |
|---|---|
| 1 Mm | 1000 km |
| 5 Mm | 5000 km |
| 10 Mm | 10000 km |
| 50 Mm | 50000 km |
| 100 Mm | 100000 km |
