Centimeters
A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One centimeter is equivalent to 0.01 meters or approximately 0.3937 inches.
The centimeter is defined as one-hundredth of a meter, making it a convenient measurement for smaller lengths.
Centimeters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. They are commonly used in everyday measurements, such as height, width, and depth of objects, as well as in educational settings.
Kilometers
A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.
The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.
Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
