What are the different Land Area Measures?
- The largest to smallest units in terms of land area measurements are
Square Miles
Square Kilometer
Hectare
Acre
Bigha
Ground
Cent
Square meter
Square Yard
Square Feet - Hectares and Acres are most commonly used for Agriculture lands, Farmlands, sports stadiums. Acres are used to measure slightly smaller areas than Hectares
- Square Miles and Square Kilometers are used to measure very large tracts of land such as countries, cities, deserts, forests, oceans and rivers
- Square Feet, Square Meter and Square Yard are used to measure land area of buildings, plots, garden, wells, ponds.
- Square feet are commonly used to measure the interior area of buildings and rooms.

- Grounds are commonly used to measure agricultural and construction lands in South India. In the same place, Cents are commonly used to measure small areas of land such as residential plots and building lots
- Bighas are commonly used to measure agricultural land in North India.
- Hectare, square kilometer and square meters are metric units while acre, square yard, and square foot are imperial and U.S. customary units.
