Why are values so large when converting cubic kilometers to tablespoons?

A cubic kilometer represents a vastly larger volume compared to a tablespoon, resulting in extremely large conversion numbers.

Does the metric tablespoon size vary by country?

Yes, exact tablespoon volumes can differ regionally, such as 15 mL commonly, but 20 mL in Australia.

Is this conversion useful for everyday cooking?

Generally no, it's more suited for scientific or scaling contexts due to the huge difference in volume magnitudes.
