Kilometer

A kilometer is a unit of distance used to measure length, commonly used in the metric system. It is equivalent to 1,000 meters, or approximately 0.62 miles. The prefix ‘kilo’ denotes a thousand, which means that one kilometer is one thousand times larger than one meter. This unit of measurement is widely used for measuring distances of all kinds, including road distances, race track lengths, and the distance between two points. Kilometers are used by individuals and organizations alike, ranging from runners and athletes to scientists and engineers. The use of kilometers in the metric system allows for greater accuracy and consistency in scientific and technical measurements.
