Relation to the metric system: The kilometer is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is a multiple of the meter. The prefix kilo- denotes a factor of 1000, so one kilometer equals 1000 meters. The use of kilometers is standard in most countries for land distances, while aviation and mariners may also use miles or nautical miles depending on the context.
