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

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 micron
The micron is the older name for the micrometer (one millionth of a meter). It's still common in filtration, semiconductor manufacturing and particle sizes.
Symbol: µ · 1 µ = 0.000001 m · Category: Metric (SI)
