A square kilometer is just an area that is both wide and tall in kilometers. A kilometer is 1000 meters. So let's say for instance you had a field that was 5 kilometers by 10 kilometers, the total area of the rectangular field would be 50 SQUARE kilometers because the two sides are being multiplied.

Square kilometers (symbol: km²) are a unit of measurement used to quantify area. It represents the area of a square with sides that measure one kilometer in length. One square kilometer is equal to 1,000,000 square meters or approximately 0.386 square miles.
