Acres to Hectares

Acre

An acre is a well-known land measurement unit in the United States and United Kingdom. One acre equals 43,560 square feet and represents a space similar to a football field without end zones. It simplifies discussions of lawns, farmland, and large outdoor properties.

Acre measurements remain common in real estate listings, zoning rules, and agricultural surveys.

Hectare

A hectare (ha) is a land measurement unit commonly used in agriculture and real estate in metric-based countries. One hectare equals 10,000 square meters — a square that measures 100 meters on each side. Its scale makes land sizes easier to visualize than large numbers of square meters.

The hectare bridges the gap between household and geographic areas, making it effective for farms, parks, and large property developments.
