What are Kilometer and Micrometer

Definition of Kilometer

A kilometer, symbolized as 'km', is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousand meters. It's commonly used to measure distances between geographical locations on land. A kilometer represents a substantial distance, often used in expressing the scale of maps or the length of a race.

Definition of Micrometer

A micrometer, also known as a micron, is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one millionth of a meter. It's symbolized as 'µm'. This unit is used in engineering and science to measure very small distances, such as the wavelength of infrared radiation or the size of cells and bacteria.

Kilometer to Micrometer Conversion Table

Square Kilometer (km²) Square Micrometer (µm²)
0.000001 km² 1e+12 µm²
0.00001 km² 1e+13 µm²
0.0001 km² 1e+14 µm²
0.001 km² 1e+15 µm²
0.01 km² 1e+16 µm²
0.1 km² 1e+17 µm²
1 km² 1e+18 µm²
10 km² 1e+19 µm²
100 km² 1e+20 µm²
1000 km² 1e+21 µm²

Conversion of Kilometer to Micrometer

1 km² = 1e+18 µm²
1 µm² = 1e-18 km²

Example 1:
Convert 0.5 km² to µm²:
0.5 km² = 0.5 × 1e+18 µm² = 5e+17 µm²

Example 2:
Convert 2 km² to µm²:
2 km² = 2 × 1e+18 µm² = 2e+18 µm²
