Convert Hectare to Hectare
Hectare
The hectare (ha) is a unit of area in the metric system, commonly used to measure large plots of land, especially in agriculture, forestry, and land planning. One hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters or 0.01 square kilometers. It is roughly equivalent to 2.471 acres.
The hectare was introduced in the 18th century as part of the metric system and is derived from the meter, the base unit of length in the metric system. The word "hectare" comes from the Greek word "hekaton" meaning "hundred," combined with the metric unit "are" (which represents 100 square meters). The hectare was designed to provide a practical unit for measuring larger areas, such as farmland and forests, in a way that fits within the metric system. Today, the hectare is widely used across the world for land measurement, although it is not commonly used in the United States, where acres are preferred instead.
