Convert Square yards to Square kilometres
1 square yard is 8.36e-7 km². One square yard is exactly 8.3612736e-7 square kilometres.
One square yard is 8.3613 × 10^-7 square kilometres. To convert square yards to square kilometres, multiply by 8.3613 × 10^-7; to go the other way, divide by 8.3613 × 10^-7 or multiply by 1.1960 × 10^+6. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Office of Weights and Measures. Nine square feet.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Office of Weights and Measures rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
The same converter answers this pair however it is written: sqyd to sqkm is how the symbols are typed on a keyboard with no superscript on it.
How do you convert square yards to square kilometres? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in square yards.
- 2.Multiply by 8.3613 × 10^-7 — that is how many square kilometres fit in one square yard.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 8.3613 × 10^-7, or multiply by 1.1960 × 10^+6.
Worked example: 25 square yards to square kilometres
- Formula
- sq yd × 8.3613 × 10^-7 = km²
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 8.3613 × 10^-7 = 0.0000209 km²
- Answer
- 25 sq yd = 0.0000209 km²
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a square yard?
Nine square feet. Carpet is still sold this way in much of the trade.
What is a square kilometre?
A million square metres, or 100 hectares. The unit land area and population density are published in everywhere except the US.
How many square kilometres are in a square yard?
One square yard is 8.3613 × 10^-7 square kilometres. Going the other way, one square kilometre is 1.1960 × 10^+6 square yards. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
