About Ares
An are (a) is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters (10 m × 10 m). Though less commonly used today, it served as an intermediate unit between square meters and hectares in the metric system. One are equals 0.01 hectares or about 119.6 yd². It is still occasionally used in some European countries for measuring medium-sized land plots, gardens, and vineyards. The dekameter-squared (dam²) is another name for the same unit.
About Acres
An acre is a traditional unit of land area used primarily in the United States, United Kingdom, and countries with British heritage. One acre equals 43,560 ft² or about 4,047 m². Historically based on the area a yoke of oxen could plow in one day, it remains the standard for measuring agricultural land, residential plots, and rural properties. A football field (without end zones) is roughly 1.32 acres, and most suburban house lots range from 0.25 to 1 acre.
