What is a metric cup?

A metric cup is a non-SI volume unit defined as exactly 250 millilitres, commonly used in cooking and nutritional contexts.

What does a cubic mile measure?

A cubic mile is a volume unit representing a cube with sides one mile long, used for very large natural or geological volumes.

Why are the converted values so small?

Because a cubic mile is vastly larger than a metric cup, conversions result in very small decimal values.
