What does one square dekameter represent?

One square dekameter is the area of a square with sides of one dekameter (10 meters), equal to 100 square meters.

When should I use square nanometers as a unit?

Square nanometers are used to quantify extremely small surface areas, such as molecules, nanoparticles, or features in semiconductor manufacturing.

Is it practical to convert large land areas to square nanometers?

Due to the vast difference in scale, such conversions result in enormously large numbers and are best suited for bridging specific contexts across scales.
