What is a cor (Biblical)?

The cor (Biblical) is an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit equivalent to about 220 liters, commonly identified with the Hebrew 'homer' and used to measure quantities like grain or oil in biblical times.

How is a drop defined in volume terms?

A drop is an informal unit representing the volume of a single liquid droplet, often approximated as about 0.05 milliliters (50 microliters) in pharmacy and medicine.

Why do conversions between cor and drop involve large numbers?

Because the cor measures large dry volumes and the drop represents a very small liquid volume, converting one cor into drops results in very large numeric values, reflecting the vast difference in scale.
