There are 1000 meters in a kilometer.

The prefix kilo- means "1000".

Examples:

  • kilogram is one thousand grams
  • kilohertz is one thousand oscillations per second
  • kilovolt is one thousand volts
  • kilobyte is roughly one thousand bytes of storage (used because 210, or 1024, is the power of two closest to 1000 bytes: it is easily close enough to one thousand, or one kilo-, for describing computer storage in general terms).
