A petaliter (PL) is a volume unit equal to 10^15 litres, representing extremely large volumes such as planetary water resources.

What is the minim (UK) unit used for?

The minim (UK) is a historic liquid volume unit used in British apothecaries for measuring small doses in pharmaceutical preparations.

Can I use this conversion for everyday liquid measurements?

No, this conversion is primarily for academic, scientific, and historical contexts due to the extreme scale differences between petaliters and minims.
