What is the US gallon used for?

The US gallon is mainly used in the United States for measuring liquid volumes such as motor fuels, milk, cooking oils, and flow rates in engineering.

What does the homer represent historically?

The homer is an ancient Hebrew volume used to measure quantities of grain, oil, or wine in biblical times and is often linked to agricultural and temple storage.

Can I use this tool to convert exact historical volumes?

Because the homer has historical variations and is an approximate unit, exact conversions may vary somewhat; this tool serves primarily academic purposes.
