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

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.
