What is a Hectare?
The hectare equals exactly 10,000 square meters (100 m × 100 m) or approximately 2.471 acres. Although not formally an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI and is the international standard for agricultural fields, forests, and urban land parcels. One square kilometer contains exactly 100 hectares. A standard international football (soccer) pitch measures 0.7–0.8 hectares.
What is a Square Kilometer?
The square kilometer equals one million square meters and is used for measuring the area of countries, cities, lakes, and other large geographic features. Equal to 100 hectares or approximately 0.386 square miles, it is the standard for national land areas and large-scale maps. Russia, the world's largest country, spans approximately 17.1 million km². A key fact: 1 km² equals 1,000,000 m² — not 1,000 — because area scales as the square of length.
