What is a gigaliter used for?

A gigaliter measures very large volumes, often used for reservoirs, water resource management, and large-scale industrial liquids.

Why convert gigaliters to tablespoons?

Converting helps relate vast volumes to everyday kitchen measures, useful for recipe scaling, pharmaceutical dosing, or educational purposes.

Does the size of a metric tablespoon vary?

Yes, the metric tablespoon is commonly 15 milliliters but sizes can differ by country, so local standards should be checked.
