To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10 and 100 kilometres (10 to 10 metres). The myriametre (sometimes also spelled myriameter, myriometre and myriometer) (10,000 metres) is a deprecated unit name; the decimal metric prefix myria- (sometimes also written as myrio-) is obsolete and not included among the prefixes when the International System of Units was introduced in 1960. ;Distances shorter than 10 kilometres Conversions 10 kilometres is equal to: * 10,000 metres * 6.2 miles * 1 mil (the Scandinavian mile), now standardized as 10 km: ** 1 mil, the unit of measure commonly used in Norway and Sweden used to be 11,295 m in Norway and 10,688 m in Sweden. * farsang, unit of measure commonly used in Iran and Turkey.
