From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To help compare orders of magnitude of different geographical areas, we list here areas between 1 km2 (100 hectares) and 10 km2. See also areas of other orders of magnitude.
[edit] Comparison to standard areas
- Areas smaller than 1 km2
- 1 square kilometre (U.S. spelling: square kilometer), symbol km2, is an SI unit of surface area. It is one of the SI derived units. It is equal to:
