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.

One square meter equals approximately 10.764 square feet or 1.196 square yards. A typical single-car parking space measures about 14–15 square meters.
