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.
