What is the conversion rate between petaliter and exaliter?

1 Petaliter (PL) equals 0.001 Exaliter (EL).

In which fields is this volume conversion commonly used?

It is commonly used in geophysics, climate studies, planetary science, and astronomy.

Why use exaliters instead of petaliters for large volumes?

Exaliters express extremely large volumes in a more compact form, making communication clearer for planetary and astrophysical scales.
