Kilometer

A kilometer is a unit of measurement that helps us figure out how far away things are from each other. Think of it like a ruler, but for bigger distances. One kilometer is about the same as walking around 10 whole football fields lined up in a row! That's a lot of space! When people talk about how far away something is, they might say "it's 5 kilometers away" which means it's really far. It's like when you ask your mom or dad how far away the candy store is and they might say "it's about 2 kilometers from here." That means you're going to have to walk a long way to get there! So, a kilometer helps us measure the distance between two things - whether it's a store, a park, a friend's house or even just how far we've walked!
