kilometer to petameter
Please provide values below to convert kilometer [km] to petameter [Pm], or change ↔.
kilometer [km]
Definition: A kilometer is a unit of length equal to 1,000 meters.
Historyandorigin: Derived from the meter, the kilometer was introduced in the late 18th century as part of the metric system.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used to measure long distances, such as between cities.
funfact: The prefix 'kilo-' comes from the Greek word 'khilioi,' meaning 'thousand.'
petameter [Pm]
Definition: A petameter is a unit of length equal to 1 quadrillion meters.
Historyandorigin: It is part of the metric system, introduced in the late 20th century.
CurrentUse: It is used in theoretical physics and cosmology to describe extremely large distances.
funfact: The prefix 'peta-' comes from the Greek word 'pente,' meaning 'five,' as it represents (10^{15}).

How to Convert kilometer to petameter
1 kilometer [km] = 1.E-12 petameter [Pm]
1 petameter [Pm] = 1000000000000 kilometer [km]
we use cross multiplication method
kilometer [km] → petameter [Pm]
1 → 1.E-12
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1.E-12=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5E-12
