What does a cubic centimeter per second measure?

It measures the volumetric flow rate of a fluid passing a point, equal to one cubic centimeter of fluid per second, commonly used for small-scale flows.

In what contexts is cubic yard per second used?

Cubic yard per second is used in U.S. customary systems for larger scale flows such as river discharge, stormwater drainage, and irrigation canal flow rates.

Why do conversion results produce very small numbers?

Because a cubic centimeter is much smaller than a cubic yard, converting small flow rates to cubic yards per second results in very small decimal values.
