Square micrometer to square kilometer converter (um2 to km2)

Conversion Formula

1 um2 = 1.00e-18 km2

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Micrometer = 1.00e-12 square meters
   1 Square Kilometer = 1,000,000 square meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 um2 = (1.00e-12 m²) / (1,000,000 m²/km2) = 1.00e-18 km2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in um2 by 1.00e-18 to get the equivalent in km2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 um2 to km2:
