Units explained
Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or one square hectometer. It is the most widely used metric unit for land measurement worldwide.
Defined as 100 ares, equal to one square hectometer. The name was introduced in 1795 in France as part of the metric system.
Hectares are the standard unit for agricultural land measurement worldwide except in the US (which uses acres). 1 hectare equals 2.47105 acres. In India, hectares are used in modern agricultural census and land records alongside traditional regional units.
Adopted in France in 1795; standardized internationally through the SI system.
Tan
A tan is a Japanese unit of area equal to approximately 991.74 m². It equals 300 tsubo, or 1/10 chō.
Traditional Japanese agricultural unit. The tan was the standard rice paddy size in pre-modern Japan.
Tan appears in Japanese rural property records and historical land descriptions. Used alongside chō and tsubo in Japanese agricultural documentation.
Traditional Japanese unit; standardized via the tsubo definition.
