Both Hectare (ha) and Katha have widely used land measurement units in India. Even after the introduction of the new standardized system of metrics, both Hectare and Katha are widely used in India. At the same time, Hectare is also a metric land measurement unit that is accepted worldwide. Converting Hectare to Katha and vice versa is easy when you know all about the two units.
So, let’s begin and read the full piece on Hectare to Katha.
All About Hectare
Hectare is the non-metric SI unit for area. The symbol of Hectare is ‘ha’. The area which is covered in one Hectare is equal to the area that is covered inside the sides of a square whose measurement is 100 meters. Hectare is used for measuring vast areas of land. In a square kilometer (sq. km.), there are approximately 100 Hectares. But, in an acre (ac), there are approximately 0.405 Hectares. The value of one Hectare is 2.47 acres (ac).
This unit of land measurement is globally accepted and was invented in 1795. It is a conjunction of the Latin words area and ‘hec’. The term Hectare is derived from adding the metric prefixes which are the base area unit, the are. One are is equal to 100 square meters, and at the same time, 1 Hectare is equal to 100 are. Acre and Hectare are not the same. An acre is a unit of area, while Hectare is the metric unit of area.
It is a commonly used unit of land measurement especially in India, which is widely used by the farming communities across the country.
The standardized system of metrics failed to cut-off Hectares from use unlike ares because it is a globally accepted metric unit for measuring the area of land.
Among the world, countries like Australia, Burma, Canada, India, the UK, The US, and the European Union, Hectare (ha) is a commonly used land measurement unit.
The Hectare has its use in different countries with different names like in Argentina, it is equivalent name is Manzana; in China, it is equivalent name is gong qing; in Iran, it is equivalent name is jerib; in the Netherlands, it is equivalent to the name bunder, and in Turkey, it is equivalent name is djerib.
