A gill (US) is a customary liquid volume unit equal to one quarter of a US liquid pint or four US fluid ounces, approximately 118.294 milliliters, often found in historical beverage and recipe contexts.

What does a cubic kilometer represent?

A cubic kilometer is an SI-derived volume unit representing the volume of a cube with 1-kilometer sides, equivalent to 1 billion cubic meters or 1 trillion liters.

Why convert from gill (US) to cubic kilometers?

This conversion helps translate small traditional liquid measures into large-scale SI volumes for scientific fields like hydrology, climate studies, or archival work involving volume documentation.
