Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is an exaliter used for?
-
An exaliter measures huge volumes such as planetary oceans, atmospheres, and large gas reserves in geophysics and astrophysics.
-
How small is a cubic millimeter?
-
A cubic millimeter is a tiny volume equal to the space inside a cube with 1 mm edges, commonly used in microfluidics and detailed biological measurements.
-
Why convert between such extreme volume units?
-
Converting between very large and very small units helps analyze and model data across vastly different scales, like planetary volumes and microscopic details.
Key Terminology
