About Metre and Kilometre
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.
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.
Both the Metre and the Kilometre are metric units, so converting between them is just a change of scale: one Metre equals 0.001 Kilometres, and the Kilometre is the larger unit.
