What is a cubic kilometer used for?

A cubic kilometer measures very large volumes, such as lakes, reservoirs, or glacier ice, in scientific and engineering fields.

What does the homer represent historically?

The homer is an ancient Hebrew unit of volume used in Biblical times for dry and liquid commodities like grain and oil.

Is the conversion between cubic kilometer and homer exact?

No, the homer is an approximate ancient measure, so conversions are approximate and should be used carefully.
