What is a cubic kilometer?

A cubic kilometer is a metric volume unit equal to the volume of a cube measuring 1 kilometer on each side, corresponding to 1 billion cubic meters.

How accurate is the dessertspoon measurement?

A US dessertspoon is an informal culinary measure generally about 2 teaspoons, approximately 9.86 milliliters, but it varies and is not officially regulated.

Can this conversion be used for scientific calculations?

No, due to the informal nature of the dessertspoon and vast scale differences, this conversion is unsuitable for scientific or engineering precision.
