The kilometre (SI symbol: km) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 1 000 meters (10 3 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 1 kilometer and 10 kilometers (10 3 and 10 4 meters).
= 3.155 6952 Gs [note 2] [note 3] day: d = 24 h = 1440 min = 86.4 ks [note 3] day (sidereal) d ≡ Time needed for the Earth to rotate once around its axis, determined from successive transits of a very distant astronomical object across an observer's meridian (International Celestial Reference Frame) ≈ 86.1641 ks: decade: dec ≡ 10 years (10 a)
Using an interval of 30 mi (50 km), the length is about 2,100 mi (3,400 km). The coastline paradox states that a coastline does not have a well-defined length. Measurements of the length of a coastline behave like a fractal , being different at different scale intervals (distance between points on the coastline at which measurements are taken).
Canada covers 9,984,670 km 2 (3,855,100 sq mi) and a panoply of various geoclimatic regions, of which there are seven main regions. [9] Canada also encompasses vast maritime terrain, with the world's longest coastline of 243,042 kilometres (151,019 mi). [20] The physical geography of Canada is widely varied.
The metrication logo used in Canada during the 1970s and 1980s. Metrication in Canada began in 1970 and ceased in 1985. While Canada has converted to the metric system for many purposes, there is still significant use of non-metric units and standards in many sectors of the Canadian economy and everyday life.
Inspired by his hero, Terry Fox, he completed a 7,342 km run across Canada in 99 days. [37] He set out on 1 April 2024 from St Johns, Newfoundland and arrived in Victoria, British Columbia on 7 July 2024, 99 days later. He ran the entire route at approximately 75 km/day, with each day broken into three 25 km segments.
kilometre (km) or kilometer is a metric unit used, outside the US, to measure the length of a journey; the international statute mile (mi) is used in the US; 1 mi = 1.609344 km; nautical mile is rarely used to derive units of transportation quantity.
The National Highway System (French: Réseau routier national) in Canada is a federal designation for a strategic transport network of highways and freeways. [1] The system includes but is not limited to the Trans-Canada Highway, [1] and currently consists of 38,098 kilometres (23,673 mi) of roadway designated under one of three classes: Core Routes, Feeder Routes, and Northern and Remote Routes.
