What does cubic foot per second measure?

It measures the volumetric flow rate representing one cubic foot of fluid passing a point each second.

Where is cubic centimeter per hour typically used?

It is used for very low steady volumetric flows like medical infusions and microfluidic experiments.

Why do conversions from ft³/s to cm³/h result in large numbers?

Because ft³/s is a large unit and cm³/h is a very small unit, the conversion multiplies flow rates by a large scaling factor.
