What is a gill (US) used for?

A gill (US) is a customary liquid volume unit historically used for small spirit or liqueur portions and is common in older American recipes and trade.

Why convert from gill to cubic miles?

This conversion helps relate small liquid volumes to extremely large-scale natural volumes such as lakes or reservoirs in scientific and environmental studies.

Is the gill commonly used today?

No, the gill is rarely used in modern measurement, mainly appearing in historical or archival contexts.
