To convert square kilometers to square meters, multiply the value by 1,000,000. To go the other way, multiply square meters by 1 × 10⁻⁶ to get square kilometers.
| Square Kilometers (km²) | Square Meters (m²) |
|---|---|
| 1 km² | 1,000,000 m² |
| 2 km² | 2,000,000 m² |
| 5 km² | 5,000,000 m² |
| 10 km² | 10,000,000 m² |
| 20 km² | 20,000,000 m² |
| 50 km² | 50,000,000 m² |
| 100 km² | 100,000,000 m² |
| 500 km² | 500,000,000 m² |
| 1,000 km² | 1,000,000,000 m² |
250 km² × 1,000,000 = 250,000,000 m²
Try this example →Square kilometer (km²). A square kilometer is one million square meters (100 hectares), used for countries, cities and lakes.
Square meter (m²). The square meter is the SI unit of area, the area of a square with 1 m sides.
There are 1,000,000 square meters in one square kilometer.
Multiply the number of square kilometers by 1,000,000. For example, 10 square kilometers equal 10,000,000 square meters.
One square meter equals 1 × 10⁻⁶ square kilometers.
