Square Meter

What is a square meter?

A square meter is the SI base unit of area, defined as the area of a square with sides of one meter. It is the universal scientific unit for area.

Origin of the square meter

Defined by squaring the meter, which was redefined in 2019 in terms of the speed of light. The meter itself was originally proposed by the French Academy of Sciences in 1791 as 1/10,000,000 of the distance from the equator to the North Pole.

Where it is used

Square meters are the universal SI unit for area, used in real estate (most countries outside the US/UK), construction, physics, engineering, materials science, biology, and nearly all scientific contexts worldwide.

When and where it was developed

Meter adopted as SI base unit in 1960; current exact definition via speed of light dates to 2019.

Scientific / Physics

Outhouse

What is a outhouse?

An outhouse is a humorous physics unit of area equal to exactly 10⁻³⁴ m² (10⁻⁶ barn), identical in value to the microbarn.

Origin of the outhouse

Coined by physicists as a humorous extension of the 'barn' nomenclature: if the barn is a large physics target, then by analogy something millionfold smaller is an 'outhouse'.

Where it is used

Outhouses are virtually never used in serious physics literature but exist as a defined humor unit. Microbarn is the preferred professional term.

When and where it was developed

Physics community humor; rarely used in practice.

Square Meter to Outhouse conversion formula

The relationship between square meters and outhouses:

1 m² = 1e+34 outh
1 outh = 1e-34 m²

To convert square meters to outhouses, multiply the value in square meters by 1e+34. To reverse, multiply outhouses by 1e-34.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in outhouses updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Outhouse to Square Meter converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert square meters to outhouses

  1. Write down the value in square meters (m²).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 1e+34.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in outhouses (outh).
  4. To reverse, multiply the outhouse value by 1e-34.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 m² to outh:
1 × 1e+34 = 1e+34 outh

Example 2 — Convert 100 m² to outh:
100 × 1e+34 = 1e+36 outh

Real-world example — Human-scale to atomic dimensions

One square meter equals one billion outhouses — the canonical metric conversion bridging everyday objects and atomic-scale features in physics, chemistry, and electronics.

1 m² × 1e+34 = 1e+34 outh

Real-world example — Meter to nanoscale

One square meter equals one billion outhouses. Physics curricula use this conversion to teach orders of magnitude when introducing the electromagnetic spectrum.

1 m² × 1e+34 = 1e+34 outh
