There are 200,000 centimeters in 2 kilometers.

Explanation:

Kilo in kilometer stands for 1000,

hence 1 kilometer means 1000 meters

and 2 kilometers means 2xx1000=2000 meters

Similarly centi stands one hundredth and one centimeter is one-hundredth of a meter i.e. each meter has 100 centimeter

Therefore 2000 meters are 2000xx100=200,000 centimeters

Hence, there are 200,000 centimeters in 2 kilometers.
