How Unit Conversion Works
Unit conversion changes a measurement from one unit into another unit representing the same physical quantity. For example, a distance can be expressed in meters, kilometers, feet, miles, or inches while the underlying distance remains the same.
Most conversions use a conversion factor. The original measurement is multiplied by the appropriate factor to produce the equivalent value in the selected unit. Temperature conversion is different because Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin use different scales and offsets.
| Conversion | Example |
|---|---|
| Length | 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters |
| Weight | 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams |
| Volume | 1 liter = 1,000 milliliters |
| Time | 1 hour = 60 minutes |
| Speed | 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h |
| Area | 1 hectare = 10,000 square meters |
