What is a US pint in milliliters?

A US pint (pt US) equals exactly 473.176473 milliliters, defined as 1/8 of a US gallon or 16 US fluid ounces.

What does a petaliter represent?

A petaliter (PL) is a very large volume unit equal to 10^15 liters, often used to describe planetary or astrophysical volumes.

Why might this conversion result in very small numbers?

Because a petaliter represents an enormous volume, converting from relatively small units like pints leads to extremely small decimal values.
