# Square kilometers to square centimeters

**1 square kilometer in square centimeters: 1 km² = 10,000,000,000 cm²**

cm² = km² × 10,000,000,000

To convert square kilometers to square centimeters, multiply by 10,000,000,000. The table below gives the values people look up most often, and the converter works for any number.

## How the conversion works

The relationship is cm² = km² × 10,000,000,000. Both units measure area, so the conversion is a fixed factor that never changes.

## Common questions

### How many square centimeters are in one square kilometer?

One square kilometer equals 10,000,000,000 square centimeters. cm² = km² × 10,000,000,000.

### How do you convert square kilometers to square centimeters?

Use cm² = km² × 10,000,000,000. So 10 km² is 100,000,000,000 cm².

### How many square kilometers are in one square centimeter?

One square centimeter equals 1 × 10^-10 square kilometers, which is the reverse of the conversion above.
