Nothing. Those are just two different ways of expressing the same thing.
Ah, what a happy little question! Square centimeters are used to measure area, like the size of a painting canvas. Centimeters square, on the other hand, is not a standard term in mathematics. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents in learning!
A centimeter is a unit of length, a cubic centimeter is a unit of volume.
There are 100 centimeters to a meter. Therefore a square meter has 100 X 100 square (one meter X one meter) centimeters, or 10,000 square centimeters. 1000 square centimeters divided by 10,000 square centimeters (one square meter) equals 0.1 square meters. A meter is equal to 100 centimeters. A square meter is 100 centimeters times 100 centimeters or 10000 square centimeters. Therefore 1000 square centimeters is equal to 1000 divided by 10000 or 0.1 square meters.
