Convert square meter to hectare
Please provide values below to convert square meter [m^2] to hectare [ha], or Convert hectare to square meter.
1 m^2 = 0.0001 ha. To convert square meter to hectare, multiply the value by 0.0001; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ha = 10000 m^2). Both units measure area and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 m^2 = 0.0001 ha
- 1 ha = 10000 m^2
- 10 m^2 = 0.001 ha
- 100 m^2 = 0.01 ha
How to Convert Square Meter to Hectare

Square Meter
A square meter (m^2) is the SI unit of area, representing the area of a square with sides of one meter each.
History/Origin
The square meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light, and has since become the standard unit for measuring area in the metric system.
Current Use
The square meter is widely used in various fields such as real estate, architecture, land measurement, and engineering to quantify surface areas of spaces and objects.
Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, commonly used to measure land.
History/Origin
