Square kilometre Totally Explained

Everything about Square Kilometers totally explained

Square kilometre (U.S. spelling: square kilometer), symbol km², is a decimal multiple of the SI unit of surface area, the square metre, one of the SI derived units.1 km² is equal to:

1,000,000 m²
100 ha (hectare)

Conversely:

1 m² = 0.000 001 (10⁻⁶) km²

1 hectare = 0.01 (10⁻²) km²

1 square mile = 2.589 988 km²

1 acre = 0.004 047 km², 0.404 7 ha or 4047 m² Note: "km²" means (km)², square kilometre or kilometre squared, and not k(m²), kilo–square metre. For example, 3 km² is equal to 3 × (1,000 m)² = 3,000,000 m², not 3,000 m².

Comparative order

The 10⁶ m² orders of magnitude page gives comparisons with geographic areas.
A hectare (10⁴ m²) is less than a square kilometer which is less than a square megametre (10¹² m²).
