About the Kilometer
Facts & Uses
- Global standard for road distances, highway markers, and GPS navigation (except US/UK); speed limits in km/h.
- Athletics: marathon (42.195 km), 5K/10K runs; cycling events and tour stages measured in kilometers.
- Geographic mapping: topographic maps, city planning, weather radar range, and earthquake epicenter distances.
- Key conversion: 1 km ≈ 0.621 miles; fuel efficiency often expressed as liters per 100 km (L/100km).
Curiosities
- French Revolution origin: one ten-thousandth of the distance from equator to North Pole through Paris.
- Marathon distance 42.195 km comes from 1908 London Olympics, not ancient Greek history.
- Space applications: Low Earth Orbit (LEO) typically 160-2000 km altitude; geostationary orbit at ~35,786 km.
- Mental conversion trick: 5 miles ≈ 8 km (actual ratio 1.609); useful for quick distance estimates.
