    What is a Hectometer?

    Definition: A Hectometer (symbol: hm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). In our next segment, we will look closely at the hectometer, abbreviated 'hm', which is a metric unit of linear measurement equal to one hundred meters. Though it’s not often used when speaking in normal casual conversation, the hectometer is a useful unit of measurement of larger distances, especially in geography, agriculture, and environmental science. A hectometer is a little over the width of a football field that is approximately one hectometer in length. This makes the hectometer a handy tool for measurement between meters that are too small and kilometers that are too large.
    History of hm: It was not until 1791 during the French Revolution that the French Academy of Sciences formally put into practice of the metric system against which the meter was to be measured; this being the distance on a projected line of longitude. To accompany the meter, different multiples and fractions were established of which the hectometer that is equivalent to one hundred meters was adopted. This new system was purposefully set up to be as organized and rational as possible to increase decimal-based speed and thus precision.

    What is a Kilometer?

    Definition: A Kilometer (symbol: km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The kilometer is the abbreviation for kilometer which is indicated by the abbreviation km in the system of metric and is equivalent to a 1000 meters. Measurement which one needs to use frequently in everyday conversation when describing locations like how far a place is or, the distance of a race. For example, a normal marathon run is 42.195 kilometers in distance, while the distance on the roads and highways is in kilometers. This makes the kilometer play an imperative role in coordinating the world around us and developing a relationship that we can all understand between these distances.
    History of km: The French Revolution late in 1791 saw the formation of the French Academy of Sciences which sought to develop standard measurements that would be coherent and comprehensive. They defined the meter as the fundamental measure of length that is based on the selected part of the Earth’s meridian. Due to the desire to measure more elaborate distances, a kilometer was then defined as a multiple of the meter and very specifically as equal to one 1000 meters.
