What is a cubic decimeter?

A cubic decimeter is a volume unit representing a cube with sides of one decimeter and equals exactly 1 liter or 0.001 cubic meters.

When should I use cubic miles as a volume unit?

Cubic miles are suitable for describing very large volumes such as lakes, reservoirs, or geological formations.

Why are converted values from cubic decimeters to cubic miles so small?

Because a cubic mile is an extremely large volume, converting from much smaller cubic decimeter units produces very tiny numbers.
