Square Kilometer to Square Attometer converter (km2 to am2)

Conversion Formula

1 km2 = 1.0E+42 am2

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Kilometer = 1000000 m²
   1 Square Attometer = 1.0E-36 m²
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 km2 = (1000000 m²) / (1.0E-36 m²/am2) = 1.0E+42 am2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in km2 by 1.0E+42 to get the equivalent in am2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 km2 to am2:

5 km2 × 1.0E+42 = 5.0E+42 am2
