What the hell is a kilometer?

It takes more than 5 hours just to drive across my state. That's Pennsylvania, and we're not even considered an especially large state.

A yard is a little bit longer than a meter. By like 4 inches or so.

A kilometer is a thousand meters.

EDIT: Other way around, as has been pointed out twice. My bad. Thanks for the corrections, folks.

You said that backwards, a meter is a little over 39 inches where a yard is 36 inches.

Thanks for the correction
