About Kilometre and Metre
A kilometre is 1,000 metres, the standard metric unit for longer distances. It is used for road distances, running races and geography almost everywhere outside the United States and the United Kingdom.
The metre is the SI base unit of length, defined as the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second. It underpins the whole metric system and is used for rooms, fabric, sports fields and scientific work worldwide.
Both the Kilometre and the Metre are metric units, so converting between them is just a change of scale: one Kilometre equals 1,000 Metres, and the Kilometre is the larger unit.
