Conversion formula

The conversion factor from kilometers to meters is 1000, which means that 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters:

1 km = 1000 m

To convert 1020 kilometers into meters we have to multiply 1020 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from kilometers to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 km → 1000 m

1020 km → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 1020 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 1020000 m

The final result is:

1020 km → 1020000 m

We conclude that 1020 kilometers is equivalent to 1020000 meters:

1020 kilometers = 1020000 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 9.8039215686275E-7 × 1020 kilometers.

Another way is saying that 1020 kilometers is equal to 1 ÷ 9.8039215686275E-7 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one thousand twenty kilometers is approximately one million twenty thousand meters:

1020 km ≅ 1020000 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately zero times one thousand twenty kilometers.
