Why convert Earth's volume to barrel (oil)?

This conversion helps relate immense planetary volumes to familiar petroleum industry units, facilitating interdisciplinary comparisons and resource assessments.

Is this conversion practical for everyday use?

No, due to the enormous difference in scale, this conversion is mainly for symbolic or illustrative purposes rather than regular calculations.

Does this conversion account for different barrel sizes worldwide?

No, only the standard U.S. oil barrel size of 42 gallons is used in this conversion.
