About Yard and Kilometer
The yard is defined as exactly 0.9144 meters by the 1959 international agreement; the foot and inch derive from it. It survives mainly in sport and US fabric and landscaping trade. The kilometer is 1,000 meters, the standard unit for road distances, maps, and geography in most of the world. Road signs, running races, and vehicle odometers outside the US and UK all use it. One Yard equals 0.0009144 Kilometers (1 yd = 0.0009144 km). Yard is used in American football field positions and in fabric and textile sales in the US. Kilometer is used in road distances and signage outside the US.
Precision and Rounding:Length factors between metric and imperial units are exact by definition (1 ft = 0.3048 m since 1959), so any rounding error comes from display precision, not the factor. Two or three decimal places suit carpentry and DIY work; machining and surveying often require four or more.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
