These units are not directly comparable as they measure different quantities: kilometer measures length, acre measures area, gram measures mass, centimeter measures length, milliliter measures volume, hectogram measures mass, deciliter measures volume. Each unit is used for specific purposes to measure different physical properties.
If the scale is 1 centimeter to 1 kilometer, then the actual distance represented by the scale distance would be 1 kilometer for every 1 centimeter on the map. This means that if you measure a distance of, say, 5 centimeters on the map using this scale, the actual distance in real life would be 5 kilometers.
There are measurements smaller than a meter. There is the centimeter (cm), milimeter (mm), and micrometer (um). They can use many different things to measure objects. Most rulers come with inches along one side and centimeter/milimeters along the other.
No, you are thinking of a kilogram. A kilometer is a measure of distance.
I'm guessing you mean what is the smaller measure for distance in the metric system. The system is millimetres, centimetres, metres then kilometres. There are 10 millimetres to a centimetre, 100 centimetres to a metre, and 1000 metres to a kilometre. (Note: the American spelling of metre is meter, so the measures would be millimeter, centimeter, meter, and kilometer).
kilometer
Length
Kilometer and centimeter
You can use the kilometer to measure small distances, but it is inconvenient to do so. A kilometer is a unit of measurement for a large distance. It is more accurate and practical to measure small distances using smaller units like the meter or centimeter.
A centimetre. A centimetre. A centimetre. A centimetre.

The meaning of linear dimension is to measure in a straight line with the units. Which are Kilometer, Meter, decimeter, centimeter and lastly millimeter.
You cannot change square centimeter to centimeter. The square centimeter is a measure of area and the centimeter is a measure of distance.
In the Metric System, a centimeter is a unit of measure for length.
