Step 6: 1,000,000 metres

Now let's skip 2 steps and go to step 6, which has six zeroes to the right of 1.

The distance from the northern tip of India in Kashmir to the southern tip at

Kanyakumari is about 4 times this distance, or 4 times 1,000,000 m, or 4,000,000 m.
Because 4,000,000 m is quite a mouthful, we usually say 4000 km, which is the same

thing.
