Ares to Hectares Converter

The Are (a) - Imagine a perfect square of 10 meters by 10 meters. That's exactly one are! It was created during the French Revolution when they wanted to make measuring land as simple as counting to 10. 🔢

The Hectare (ha) - "Hect" comes from the Greek word for hundred. So a hectare is simply 100 ares! It's about the size of a rugby field or nearly two football fields. When farmers talk about their land, they usually use hectares. 🌱

Quick Conversion: 1 hectare = 100 ares = 10,000 square meters. The Ancient Romans would be jealous of how easy this is - they used a unit called "jugerum" which was based on how much land a team of oxen could plow in one day! 🐂
