Square Kilometer to Square Nanometer converter (km2 to nm2)

Conversion Formula

1 km2 = 1.0E+24 nm2

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Kilometer = 1000000 m²
   1 Square Nanometer = 1.0E-18 m²
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 km2 = (1000000 m²) / (1.0E-18 m²/nm2) = 1.0E+24 nm2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in km2 by 1.0E+24 to get the equivalent in nm2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 km2 to nm2:

5 km2 × 1.0E+24 = 5.0E+24 nm2
