How to convert yards to kilometers
Any physical quantity can be written as:
Q = nu , where n= numerical value and u = unit used
We know that:
1 yd = 0.0009144 km
1 km = 1093.61 yd
So, you can easily convert your quantity in yards to km by simply multiply it by 0.0009144
Hence, general formula to convert yards to km:
p(km) = 0.0009144 × p(yd), where p is the numerical value
For example:
Convert 25 yards to km
25 yd = 25 × 0.0009144 km = 0.02286 km
About Yard (yd)
Name of unit: Yard
Abbreviation: yd

Uses of yard: Yard is the average unit length of the foot and the mile. So, Yard is used to measure the length, distance and height of those objects whose size larger than the foot and smaller than the mile like football field, small path etc . Yard is also used in another various fields like construction work, real state, land dimensions measurements etc .
Countries that use yard: Yard is used to measure the length or height of objects in the US Customary system of measurements. So the countries that use the inch as the unit of length are Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Liberia and Myanmar.
About Kilometer (km)
Name of unit: Kilometre
Abbreviation: km
Unit system: metric system
Definition: Kilometre is the metric unit of length used to measure the length of very large objects or distances. In SI units, the fundamental unit of length is the metre and 'kilo' is the Greek word refers to the prefix of the metre which is equal to thousand i.e 1000 ( 1 Km = 1000m ).
Uses: Kilometre is the larger unit of length is used to measure the lenght of roads , height of big buildings etc. It is also used in various fields like physics, chemistry , medicines, mathematics etc for large measurements.
Countries that use km: Kilometre is the metric unit of length, so it is used by all other countries around the world except the US, Liberia and Myanmar.
