To convert 3970 kilometers into meters we have to multiply 3970 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

3970 km → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 3970 km × 1000 m

L_(m) = 3970000 m

The final result is:

3970 km → 3970000 m

We conclude that 3970 kilometers is equivalent to 3970000 meters:
