What is a cubic mile used to measure?

A cubic mile is used to describe very large volumes such as those of lakes, reservoirs, ice sheets, or large geological features.

When should I use exaliters for volume?

Exaliters are used for extremely large volumes, such as planetary or astrophysical scales including Earth's oceans or planetary atmospheres.

Is this conversion tool suitable for small volume measurements?

No, exaliters are suited for very large volumes and may be unwieldy for smaller scale uses.
