What is Earth's volume?

Earth's volume is the total three-dimensional space inside the planet's surface, about 1.08321×10^12 cubic kilometres.

What does an acre-foot measure?

An acre-foot measures the volume of water covering one acre of area to a depth of one foot, equal to 43,560 cubic feet.

Why convert Earth's volume to acre-foot?

Converting to acre-foot helps put massive planetary volumes into a water-related context useful in environmental and water resource discussions.
