What is an exaliter used for?

An exaliter is used to measure extremely large volumes such as planetary water volumes, planetary atmospheres, or very large gas reservoirs in astronomy and earth sciences.

Why convert from exaliter to cubic mile?

Converting from exaliter to cubic mile helps express very large volumes in units that are more familiar regionally, aiding comparisons between planetary-scale data and geological or hydrological volumes.

Is this conversion suitable for small volume measurements?

No, due to the vast difference in unit size, this conversion is primarily useful only for extremely large volumes and is not practical for smaller measurements.
