Facts

The meter (or metre) is a unit of length. It is named after the Greek word μέτρον, which means measure.

A meter is the equivalent of 0.001 km, 100 cm, 1000 mm and ≈39.37 in.

The metric system has submultiples (decimeter, centimeter, millimeter, micrometer) and multiples (decameter, hectometer, kilometer, etc). This unit belongs to a system of measurement known as the SI (International System of Units).

Examples of use:

  • The shortest sprint race in track is 100 meters.
  • The Empire State Building is 381 m tall.
  • German autobahn lanes are 3.75 meters wide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Divide the number of meters by 1,000. For example: 5,000 m ÷ 1,000 = 5 km. You can also move the decimal point three places to the left: 5000 m becomes 5.000 km. This works because "kilo" means thousand, so one kilometer is always exactly 1,000 meters.

There are exactly 1,000 meters in one kilometer. This is an exact conversion with no rounding needed, as the kilometer is defined as 1,000 meters in the International System of Units (SI).

1,500 meters equals exactly 1.5 kilometers. The 1500 meters is a classic middle-distance track event in athletics, often called "the metric mile" because it is close to one mile (1,609.344 m). The world record for the 1500 m is under 3 minutes 27 seconds.

100 meters is 0.1 kilometers, or about 328 feet. It is roughly the length of a standard athletics track straightaway, or about the length of a football (soccer) field. At a normal walking pace, it takes about 1 to 1.5 minutes to walk 100 meters.

Both meters (m) and kilometers (km) are metric units of length. The difference is scale: 1 km = 1,000 m. Meters are typically used for shorter distances (room dimensions, building heights, athletic events), while kilometers are used for longer distances (road distances, geography, travel). Both belong to the International System of Units (SI).
