Convert Centimeter to Kilometer - 1 cm to km

What is Centimeter?

Centimeter is a unit for measuring length as defined in the metric system. It equals 1/100^th of a single meter. A single centimeter also works out to 0.39370 inches in all.

What is Kilometer?

Kilometer is the unit for measuring length within the metric system. It equates to 1,000 meters. It also works out to 0.6214 miles in total.

Relation between Centimeter and Kilometer

A kilometer equates to 100000 centimeters. The conversion procedure takes place by multiplying the value in kilometers by 100000.

Difference Between Centimeters and Kilometers

We all know that Kilometers are mainly used to measure the distance between two geographical locations while Centimeters are used for measuring smaller distances or the length of objects or reporting the rainfall level, etc. But that’s not all! Centimeters and Kilometers are quite different from each other and here’s how:

Basis of Comparison	Centimeters	Kilometer
Symbol	cm	km
Definition	A centimeter is a unit of measurement of length that is equal to one-hundredth of a meter.	A Kilometer is defined as the distance traversed by light in a vacuum in a time interval of 1/299,792,458 seconds. Mathematically, one Kilometer is equivalent to 1000 meters.
Formula	1 centimeter = 10-5 km	1 km = 105 cm
Size	A centimeter is five times smaller than a kilometer.	A kilometer is five times bigger than a centimeter.
Origin	The word Centimeter is an amalgamation of words Centi, meaning hundredth, and Meter, the SI base unit of length.	The word Kilometer is a combination of two words, Greek roots khilioi, “thousand,” and metron, “measure.”
Use	It is used as an SI unit of length, where centi is used as the SI suffix.	The prefix of the SI base unit – 103.
Applicability	It is used as an alternative for the use of meters whenever any small unit of measurement is required. Usually, height, in several countries except for the US, is measured in centimeters.	It is usually used to measure the distances between two geographical locations.

How to Convert from Centimeter to Kilometer

The procedure for cm to km conversion is quite simple. For converting centimeters to kilometers, you should know that 1 kilometer is 100000 centimeters. Hence, for obtaining the kilometer value, you will have to divide the centimeter value by 100000.

Centimeter to Kilometer Formula & Examples

The formula for converting cm to km is the following:

Km = cm/100000

Suppose you wish to convert 20 centimeters to kilometers. Then the answer will be 0.0002 kilometers based upon this formula.
