What exactly is a petaliter?

A petaliter is a volume unit equal to 10^15 litres, used to express extremely large volumes such as planetary oceans or astrophysical gas clouds.

What is a US pint used for?

The US pint is a customary liquid volume unit primarily used for beverages, culinary measurements, and retail packaging in the United States.

Why are conversions between petaliters and US pints so large?

Because petaliters measure vast volumes and US pints measure small quantities, converting between them produces very large numbers.
