What is a quart (UK) used for?

It is a traditional British imperial unit for measuring liquid volumes, commonly found in older recipes and legacy labels.

When would I use petaliters as a volume unit?

Petaliters are used to express extremely large volumes, such as planetary oceans or astrophysical gas clouds.

Is this conversion useful for everyday measurements?

No, because petaliter measures volumes on an enormous scale, making it impractical for typical household or commercial liquid quantities.
