To convert kilometers to meters, you can use the conversion factor that 1 kilometer is equal to 1,000 meters.

Given: \[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \]

We convert it by multiplying by 1,000 meters per kilometer:

\[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} \times 1,000 \text{ meters/kilometer} \]

This can be expressed in scientific notation as:

\[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \times 10^3 = 4.083 \times 10^{6+3} = 4.083 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

So,

\[ 4.083 \times 10^6 \text{ kilometers} = 4.083 \times 10^9 \text{ meters} \]

In decimal form, this is:

\[ 4,083,000,000 \text{ meters} \]

Thus, the final answer is 4,083,000,000 meters.
