What is a square meter?

A square meter (m²) is the SI derived unit of area, defined as the area of a square with one meter-long sides, commonly used to measure floors, land, and building surfaces.

When should I use square micrometers?

Square micrometers (µm²) are used to express very small surface areas at microscopic scales, such as in microscopy, microfabrication, and materials science.

How do I convert square meters to square micrometers?

To convert, multiply the number of square meters by 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) to get the equivalent area in square micrometers.
