Cubic Kilometers: A Unit of Volume

How to Convert Cubic Kilometers

To convert cubic kilometers to other units of volume, we need to use conversion factors that relate the cubic kilometer to the desired unit. For example, to convert cubic kilometers to liters, we need to know that one liter is equal to one cubic decimeter, or 0.001 cubic meters. Therefore, one cubic kilometer is equal to 10⁹ cubic meters, or 10¹² liters.

Here are some common conversion factors for cubic kilometers:

• 1 km³ = 10⁹ m³
• 1 km³ = 10¹² L
• 1 km³ = 264.172 billion US gallons
• 1 km³ = 219.969 billion UK gallons
• 1 km³ = 35.315 billion ft³
• 1 km³ = 1.307 billion yd³
• 1 km³ = 6.289 billion barrels (oil)
• 1 km³ = 810,713 acre-feet

To convert from other units of volume to cubic kilometers, we need to use the inverse of these conversion factors. For example, to convert liters to cubic kilometers, we need to divide by 10¹².

Cubic Meters - A Unit of Volume

One cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters, 35.3 cubic feet, or 1.3 cubic yards.

How to Convert Cubic Meters

To convert cubic meters to other units of volume, you need to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert cubic meters to liters, multiply by 1000.
  • Example: 2 m3 x 1000 = 2000 L
• To convert cubic meters to cubic feet, multiply by 35.3.
  • Example: 2 m3 x 35.3 = 70.6 ft3
• To convert cubic meters to cubic yards, multiply by 1.3.
  • Example: 2 m3 x 1.3 = 2.6 yd3
• To convert cubic meters to gallons (US liquid), multiply by 264.
  • Example: 2 m3 x 264 = 528 gal
• To convert cubic meters to bushels (US), multiply by 28.4.
  • Example: 2 m3 x 28.4 = 56.8 bu
• To convert cubic meters to barrels (oil), multiply by 6.29.
  • Example: 2 m3 x 6.29 = 12.58 bbl

To convert other units of volume to cubic meters, you need to divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

• To convert liters to cubic meters, divide by 1000.
  • Example: 2000 L / 1000 = 2 m3
• To convert cubic feet to cubic meters, divide by 35.3.
  • Example: 70.6 ft3 / 35.3 = 2 m3
• To convert cubic yards to cubic meters, divide by 1.3.
  • Example: 2.6 yd3 / 1.3 = 2 m3
• To convert gallons (US liquid) to cubic meters, divide by 264.
  • Example: 528 gal / 264 = 2 m3
• To convert bushels (US) to cubic meters, divide by 28.4.
  • Example: 56.8 bu / 28.4 = 2 m3
• To convert barrels (oil) to cubic meters, divide by 6.29.
  • Example: 12.58 bbl / 6.29 = 2 m3
