Key Terminology
-
Teraliter (TL)
-
A unit of volume equal to 10^12 liters, used for very large volumetric measurements on the scale of cubic kilometers.
-
Cubic centimeter (cm³)
-
A volume unit representing the volume of a cube with one-centimeter sides, equal to one milliliter, commonly used for small liquid volumes.
