Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the US liquid quart?
-
The US liquid quart is a customary unit of volume equal to one quarter of a US liquid gallon, exactly 0.946352946 liters.
-
Why convert from quart to cubic mile?
-
This conversion is useful to express small liquid volumes in quarts within very large volumetric scales like lakes or geological formations.
-
Is this conversion practical for everyday use?
-
Because of the large scale difference, the results often involve very small numbers, making it less suitable for typical daily measurements.
Key Terminology
