How long is a kilometer in relation to meters?

100 meters
500 meters
1000 meters
2000 meters

The correct answer is: 1000 meters

A kilometer is defined as a unit of length in the metric system that is equal to 1,000 meters. This is a foundational concept in understanding metric measurements, where the prefix "kilo-" signifies a factor of one thousand. Since 1 kilometer directly translates to 1,000 meters, this understanding is crucial for conversions and real-world applications, such as measuring distances. The other choices represent incorrect conversions and do not reflect the accurate relationship between kilometers and meters.
