What is Ground?

The Ground is a customary unit of measure for land, typically used in Tamil Nadu and part of South India. It is most commonly used in land documentation and real estate deals. A Ground translates to 2,400 square feet or about 223 square meters. While not an official unit of measurement within the SI system, it continues as a standard unit in local land transactions.

What is Acre?

Acre is an internationally utilised standard land unit in countries such as India, the United States, and the United Kingdom. 1 Acre measures 43,560 square feet or 4,047 square meters. The acre unit measures vast tracts of land, particularly in real estate and agriculture. Acre land measurements are found on government documents in most countries and hence serve an important function in land deals legally and commercially. Unlike metric units, an Acre is not a shape that is set in size and may be any size in length and width as long as it occupies 43,560 square feet.
