The hectare (/ ˈ h ɛ k t ɛər,-t ɑːr /; SI symbol: ha) is a non-SI metric unit of area equal to a square with 100-metre sides (1 hm 2), that is, 10,000 square metres (10,000 m 2), and is primarily used in the measurement of land. There are 100 hectares in one square kilometre. An acre is about 0.405 hectares and one hectare contains about ...
A Morgen (Mg) is a historical, but still occasionally used, German unit of area used in agriculture. [1] Officially, it is no longer in use, but rather the hectare. [1] While today it is approximately equivalent to the Prussian morgen, measuring 25 ares or 2,500 square meters, its area once ranged from 1,906 to 11,780 square meters, but usually between ¼ and ½ hectare.

The Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, with 1000 rooms on 13 levels, and over 130,000 square metres (1,400,000 sq ft) of floor space, [2] is one of the largest palaces in the world by floor area. It was the winter residence of the Dalai Lama until 1959. (Many sources [3] give the area as 360,000 square metres (3,900,000 sq ft).)

[4] [5] The hectare (ha), a common metric unit for land area, is equal to one square hectometre (hm 2). The hectometer has sometimes been used for expressing the distance to a target in warfare. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ]
Notably, the meter was already the key unit, so it was a metric system, but the names of several other units were different and while the are was defined as a unit of area, it was defined as 10000 m², or 100 larger, but there was an inconsistence in the conversion factor to square feets which would effectively divide it by a factor of 100.
On average, a global hectare can be produced in the area of a standard hectare. A hectare (/ ˈ h ɛ k t ɛər /; symbol ha) is a unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres (107,639 sq ft) (a square 100 metres on each side or 328 feet on each side), 2.471 acres, 0.01 square kilometers, 0.00386102 square miles, or one square hectometre (100 metres squared).
