A kilometer is equal to 1,000 times greater than a meter. The prefix "kilo" means 1,000. On the other hand, a millimeter is 1,000 times smaller than a meter.
That is the kilometer.
A millimeter is 1/1000 of a meter.
A kilometer is one thousand TIMES a meter (1 meter X 103) and a megameter is one million TIMES a meter (1 meter X 106), while a millimeter is one thousANDTH of a meter (1 meter X 10-3) and a micrometer is one millionTH of a meter (1 meter X 10-6).The prefix (e.g. kilo) attached to the unit (e.g. meter) defines the multiplier, as in kilo means "1000 times" andmega means "million times," while milli means "1/1000 of" and micromeans " one millionth of." So, for example,kilometer can broken down into kilo and meter, suggesting 1000 times a meter, which is equal to 1000 meters.The prefix either breaks a unit (in this case meters) into parts of the unit or multiplies of the unit, depending on the SIGN (+ or -) of the exponent attached to the prefix (negative exponents refer to fractions of the unit [smaller] while positive exponents refer to multiples of the unit [bigger]).
1000 L = 1 kilolitre
There is not a single metric unit of length. 1000 metres is 1000 unit of the MKS (metre-kilogram-second) basis of length or 100,000 of the CGS (centimetre-gram-second) basis.
Well, in the metric system, the base unit for distance is the meter. If that is the unit to which you refer, then there are 1000 milimeters in one "unit", or meter.
The prefix for 1000 is kilo-.
No, It's the metric unit for length
The SI unit for length is the meter, but for longer distances the kilometer is used. There are 1000 meters in a kilometer.
No. The closest metric unit is the meter.
I think that you mean Metric unit. The base unit is the Gram. Prefixes are used to modify the unit. For instance, Kilogram, meaning 1000 Grams.
the meter is defined as the basic unit of the metric unit.
The standard unit of length in the metric system is the meter: 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter 1 decimeter = 0.1 meter 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
The meter is the metric base unit for volume, and the cubic meter is the derived unit.
The basic metric unit of measure for length is the meter (m).
That is the kilometer.
The base unit of distance in the metric system is the meter (m). One meter is subdivided into 1000 millimeters (mm). It can also be subdivided into 100 centimeters (cm). 1000 meters is also known as a kilometer (km).
