What is a cubic kilometer?

A cubic kilometer is an SI-derived unit representing the volume of a cube with 1-kilometer sides, equivalent to 1 billion cubic meters or 1 trillion liters.

What is the minim (UK) unit?

The minim (UK) is a historic British apothecaries' liquid volume unit equal to 1/60 of an imperial fluid dram or roughly 0.05919 milliliters.

When would I use this conversion?

This conversion is useful for translating very large volumes into historic pharmaceutical units, especially in archival or museum research involving antique medical data.
