What does the homer (Biblical) measure?

It is an ancient Hebrew volume unit used for dry and liquid goods, roughly equal to 10 ephahs or about 220 liters.

What is an exaliter [EL] used for?

An exaliter is an extremely large SI-derived unit of volume suited for planetary or astrophysical scale measurements such as Earth's oceans or atmospheres.

Why convert homer to exaliter?

This allows comparison of ancient volume quantities with very large modern volumetric scales relevant to geophysics, astrophysics, and climate studies.
