Kilometers (km)
Definition
A kilometer (km) is a metric unit of length equal to 1,000 meters. It is the standard unit for expressing long distances in the metric system.
History
The kilometer was adopted as part of the metric system in 1795. It became the standard long-distance unit across most of the world, though the United States, United Kingdom, and a few other countries still primarily use miles.
Current use
Kilometers are used worldwide for road distances, geographic measurements, running and cycling events, vehicle odometers (in metric countries), and aviation altitude in some regions.
