Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a fluid ounce (US)?
-
A fluid ounce (US) is a unit of volume equal to 1/128 of a US liquid gallon, exactly 29.5735295625 milliliters, commonly used for measuring small liquid amounts in recipes and product labeling.
-
When should I use cubic miles as a volume unit?
-
Cubic miles are best for expressing very large volumes such as natural lakes, reservoirs, or geological formations and are used mainly in environmental and earth sciences.
-
Can I use this converter for cooking measurements?
-
No, this conversion is not practical for typical kitchen or culinary uses due to the enormous difference in volume scales.
