      14. Wien's law constant = 2897.771955 ... μm-K (see NIST: Fundamental Physical Constants)
    2. natural units:
      1. mega-square-kilometer = Mk = 10**6 km**2: This is the natural unit for the Earth surface area since its total is 510.072 Mk = 510072000 km**2 ≅ 510 Mk (see Wikipedia: Earth: Side table). Note:
         
            1 Mk = (10**3 km)**2 = 10**2 pMk (for percent of an MK)
                 1 pMk = (100 km)**2 = 10**4 km**2
                 1 km**2 = 100 ha
                 1 ha = (100 m)**2 = (1/100) km**2
                 10**6 ha = 10**4 km**2 = 1 pMk
