which is longer a meter or kilometer?
610716
Kilometer is the answer. Kilo is a prefix that stands for 1000, and you know what a meter is. So a kilometer is 1000 meters.

The metric system is based on multiplies of 10 and matematically is easier to divide or multiply by 10 than other convertion factors. Actually the ethimology of the words indicate the factor that have been applied to an unit (eg: on "centimeter", the prefix "centi" means 100, then centimeter means a hundredth of a meter or 0.01m)\n\nQuote: "The meter was originally defined as one ten-millionth (0.0000001 or 10-7) of the distance, as measured over the earth's surface in a great circle passing through Paris, France, from the geographic north pole to the equator. "\n\nNowadays, the meter, the gram and other units are defined using systems that are independent of the geography (eg: 1 meter is the distance traveled by a ray of electromagnetic (EM) energy through a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 (3.33564095 x 10-9) of a second).\n\n\nI hope you find this helpful,\n\nSincerely,\n\nManuel-(block)-Cachilapex

5000\n\nThe term 'milli' means thousandth so a millimetre is one thousandth of a metre, i.e. there are 1000 millimetres in a metre and so there are 5000 millimetres in 5 metres.\n\nThe same applies to milligram, millilitre etc.\n\nNano = 1 billionth (e.g. nano-second)\nMicro = 1 millionth (e.g. micro-gram)\nMilli = 1 thousandth (e.g. milli-metre)\nKilo = 1 thousand (e.g. kilo-watt)\nMega = 1 million (e.g. mega-pixel)\nGiga = 1 billion (e.g. giga-byte)\n\nThere's smaller and larger measurements but these are infrequently used.

It is 1 kilometer (1000 meters). Roughly 3281 feet or .62 miles.

The metric system uses the prefixes deci-, centi-, milli-, micro-, and nano-.\n\nA decimeter is one-tenth (1/10th or .1) meter.\nA centimeter is one-one hundredth (1/100 or .01) meter.\nA millimeter is one-one thousandth (1/1,000 or .001) meter.\nA micrometer is one-millionth (1/1,000,000 or .000001) meter.\nA nanometer is one billionth (1/1,000,000,000 or .000000001) meter.\n\nI hope this is what you were looking for.

10k = 6.2 miles\n\nDirectory > Words > Dictionary kil·o·me·ter (kĭ-lŏm'ĭ-tər, kĭl'ə-mē'tər) \nn. (Abbr. km)\nA metric unit of length equal to 1,000 meters (0.62 mile). \n\nkilometric kil'o·met'ric (kĭl'ə-mĕt'rĭk) adj.\nUSAGE NOTE   Although the pronunciation of kilometer with stress on the second syllable, (kĭ-lŏm'ĭ-tər), is often censured because it does not conform to the stress pattern in millimeter and centimeter (it originally came about by false analogy with barometer and thermometer), it continues to thrive in American English. In a recent survey, 69 percent of the Usage Panel preferred this pronunciation, while 29 percent preferred the pronunciation (kĭl'ə-mē'tər).

That was the old definition of a metre. It was later changed because somehow they determined it wasn't accurate (like the distance between those two points became ten million and two metres.) I believe the current definition of a metre is the distance light travels in 1/299792458 of a second, but I've also heard it defined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a krypton laser.
