What does 1 US tablespoon represent in volume?

One US tablespoon is a volume unit equal to 1/2 US fluid ounce, exactly 14.78676478125 milliliters, commonly rounded to 14.8 milliliters in cooking.

What is a megaliter used for?

A megaliter is a metric volume unit equal to 1,000,000 liters, used primarily in hydrology, engineering, and municipal water capacity measurements.

Why are tablespoon to megaliter conversions usually very small decimal numbers?

Because tablespoons measure small culinary volumes while megaliters represent extremely large water volumes, their direct conversion results in very small decimal values.
