What is a metric teaspoon?

A metric teaspoon is a standardized volume unit equal to exactly 5 milliliters, commonly used in cooking, baking, and dosing medicines.

What does one cubic kilometer represent?

One cubic kilometer is an SI-derived unit of volume that equals the volume of a cube with sides measuring one kilometer, equivalent to 1×10^9 cubic meters.

Why do conversion results involve very small numbers?

Because a teaspoon is extremely small compared to a cubic kilometer, the converted values are very small and expressed in scientific notation.
