How many meters are in a kilometer?

In: Units of Measure, Length and Distance [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are 1000 meters in a kilometer.

The prefix kilo- means "1000".

Examples:

kilogram is one thousand grams
kilohertz is one thousand oscillations per second
kilovolt is one thousand volts
kilobyte is roughly one thousand bytes of storage (used because 2¹⁰, or 1024, is the power of two closest to 1000 bytes: it is easily close enough to one thousand, or one kilo-, for describing computer storage in general terms).

1000 meters/km.
1,000 meters = 1 kilometer
