Sorry if this is a dumb question but I could not find a specific answer on google. If I have a raster that is in meters with a cell size of 0.25 x 0.25 does that mean the resolution is 0.25 sq meters?

consider the example here

Pixel size of image and raster data—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

4m x 4m cells

5 cells

area covered = 16 * 5 == 80 m^2

cell size refers to one direction since they are both equal in width and height, the area is cell size * cell size.

some raster formats exist where the width and height are different and both need to be specified


... sort of retired...
