What is a Hectare (ha)?

A hectare (ha) is a unit used to measure area in the metric system. In simple terms, one hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters.

It's primarily used for measuring large plots of land, making it a standard unit for agriculture, forestry, and urban planning worldwide.

For a quick conversion:

1 hectare = 10,000 square meters
1 hectare = 2.47 acres

How Big is a Hectare?

It can be tricky to picture a unit of measurement.

The easiest way to understand the size of a hectare is to imagine a square with sides that are 100 meters long. The area inside that square is exactly one hectare (100 m × 100 m = 10,000 m²).

Visualizing a Hectare: Real-World Examples

To put the size of a hectare into perspective, think about these common examples:

An international rugby field is almost exactly one hectare in size.
A professional soccer (football) pitch is slightly smaller, at around 0.71 hectares.
It would take about 15 American football fields to cover one hectare.
New York City's Times Square is approximately 1.1 hectares in size.

Hectare vs. Acre: What's the Difference?

The hectare and the acre are both units used to measure land, but they belong to different measurement systems and are not the same size.

The most significant difference is that the hectare is a metric unit, while the acre is part of the imperial system.

Hectare: A metric unit equal to 10,000 square meters.
Acre: An imperial unit equal to 4,840 square yards (or about 4,047 square meters).

A hectare is significantly larger than an acre. One hectare is equal to about 2.47 acres.

Where is the Hectare Used Globally?

While not an official SI unit, the hectare is the only named unit of area that is accepted for use with the International System of Units.

It is a primary measurement for land in legal and commercial contexts throughout most of the world, particularly in:

The European Union
Australia
Canada
Most of Asia and Africa

Its widespread adoption makes it a universal standard for land measurement. The major exception is the United States, which primarily uses the acre.
