Meter and kilometer are two important units of measuring length as per the International standard of units and are accepted worldwide with certain exceptions. Knowing how they are used and the relationship between m and km in the metric system, along with meter to kilometer formula, is essential to convert length measurements from meter to kilometer and vice versa. 

Defining Meter

A meter is a basic unit in the International System of Units that measures length and distance. It was first defined in 1793 as one-tenth-millionth part of the distance that was between the Equator and the North Pole. But in 1799, the meter was known to be redefined based on the prototype meter bar, with the actual bar used being changed in 1889. and later, in 1960, the meter was again redefined in terms of the number of wavelengths of the krypton 86 emission line. And currently accepted definition of meter was adopted in 1983, with slight modification in 2002 to establish it as a ‘measure of proper length.’

Between 1983 to 2019, the meter was defined in terms of the distance light travels through a vacuum in 1/299792458 seconds. But after the redefinition of SI base Units in 2019, this definition was further rephrased to include the changes in the definition of second.           

  • How Is Meter Used?

A meter calculates and measures length, height, and distance. It is the international standard unit for measuring, with the United States being the prominent exception from this. A meter is not used in the United States. Yard, inches, and feet are the units used in place of meters in the United States.

Defining Kilometer

As per the International System of Units, Kilometer is a unit for measuring length and distance. It is a unit in the metric system primarily used to explain certain distances. One kilometer is equal to 0.6214 miles and 1000 meters.

The short form of a kilometer is km, and kilo is used as a prefix to meter to denote the metric of 1000, according to which one kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. It is important to know that meter to a kilometer is connected to their origin. The relation between meter and kilometer is always constant; 1 km =1000m. 

  • Kilometer – How It is Used

A kilometer is a widely used unit for measuring the distance between geographical lands. It is used almost globally, with few exceptions like the United States and the United Kingdom.

Relationship Between the Two Units – Meter And Kilometer

Knowing the relationship between a meter to a kilometer is essential for easily performing m to km conversion tasks. The relation of one meter is 0.0001 kilometer, and one kilometer means 1000 meters.

Converting Meter to Kilometer

For converting meters to kilometers, dividing the value of length by the conversion ratio is required. So, since 1 km equals 1000 meters, all you need to do to convert m to km is divide the given value by 1000, and you will get the result in kilometers.

Meter To Km Conversion – Knowing The Formula

The formula of converting 1m to km is widely accepted as the value of the meter divided by 1000.

So, The formula for m to km conversion is:-

Value in Kilometer= Value in Meters / 1000
