FAQ

How many square kilometers are in one square meter?

1 m² = 0.000001 km². The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

What is the formula to convert square meters to square kilometers?

Multiply the value in square meters by 0.000001: square kilometers = square meters × 0.000001. For example, 5 m² = 0.000005 km².

How do I convert square kilometers back to square meters?

Multiply by the inverse factor 1000000 (square meters = square kilometers × 1000000), or use the square kilometers-to-square meters page.
