Units explained
Square Hectometer
A square hectometer is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 m². It is identical in value to the hectare.
Derived by squaring the hectometer (100 m). The hecto- prefix comes from the Greek 'hekaton' (hundred).
Functionally equivalent to hectares. In contexts where the prefix system is preferred over the special name 'hectare', hm² may be used.
Hectometer has been part of the metric system since 1795.
Square Femtometer
A square femtometer is a metric unit of area equal to 10⁻³⁰ m². It is used in nuclear and particle physics to describe interaction cross-sections at the nuclear scale.
Derived by squaring the femtometer (10⁻¹⁵ m), historically known as the fermi after physicist Enrico Fermi.
Square femtometers are equivalent to 0.01 barn. They appear in particle physics literature comparing strong interaction cross-sections and hadron sizes.
Femtometer adopted into SI in 1964; the fermi nomenclature predates this from mid-20th century nuclear physics.
Square Hectometer to Square Femtometer conversion formula
The relationship between square hectometers and square femtometers:

Step-by-step: convert square hectometers to square femtometers
- Write down the value in square hectometers (hm²).
- Multiply that value by the factor 1e+34.
- The product is the equivalent value in square femtometers (fm²).
- To reverse, multiply the square femtometer value by 1e-34.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 hm² to fm²:
1 × 1e+34 = 1e+34 fm²
Example 2 — Convert 100 hm² to fm²:
100 × 1e+34 = 1e+36 fm²
Real-world example — Kilometres to wavelengths
One square hectometer equals one trillion square femtometers — a conversion physics teachers use to convey the gulf between everyday geographic and atomic scales.
1 hm² × 1e+34 = 1e+34 fm²
Real-world example — Geographic to wavelength scale
One square hectometer equals one trillion square femtometers — illustrating the 12-order-of-magnitude span between geographic distance and atomic-feature scales.
1 hm² × 1e+34 = 1e+34 fm²
