How to convert kilometers to micrometers
1 kilometer is equal to 1,000,000,000 micrometers, and 1 micrometer is equal to 1 × 10⁻⁹ kilometers. To convert, multiply by the conversion factor:
micrometers = kilometers × 1,000,000,000
micrometers = kilometers ÷ 1 × 10⁻⁹Example: convert 1 km to µm: 1 × 1,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000 µm.

About the kilometer
A kilometer is 1,000 meters. It's the standard unit for distances between places, road signs and running races in most countries.
Symbol: km · 1 km = 1,000 m · Category: Metric (SI)
About the micrometer
A micrometer is one millionth of a meter. It's used to measure cells, bacteria, fibers and the thickness of coatings and films.
Symbol: µm · 1 µm = 0.000001 m · Category: Metric (SI)
