About Square Kilometers
A square kilometer (km²) is a metric unit of area equal to a square with sides of one kilometer (1,000 m × 1,000 m). It is used for measuring large land areas such as cities, forests, lakes, and countries. Manhattan (New York) is about 59 km², and Monaco (the second smallest country) is just over 2 km². This unit is essential in geography, urban planning, forestry, and environmental impact studies.
About Square Megameters
A square megameter (Mm²) equals the area of a square with sides of one million meters - 10¹² m², or one trillion square meters. At this scale we describe major geographic and planetary regions. The entire land surface of Earth is about 149 Mm², the Indian Ocean covers roughly 70 Mm², and the Sahara Desert spans approximately 9.2 Mm². Square megameters provide a convenient scale for comparing continent-sized areas without resorting to hundreds of millions of square kilometers.
