How to Convert Cubic Centimeter per second to Cubic kilometer per secondCubic kilometer per second
1 cm3/s = 1e-15 km3/s
1 km3/s = 1000000000000000 cm3/s
Example: convert 71 cm3/s to km3/s:
71 cm3/s = 71 x 1e-15 = 7.1e-14 km3/s
Cubic Centimeter per second
Definition: Cubic centimeters per second (cm³/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate. It represents the volume of a substance passing through a given point per unit of time. Specifically, it measures the volume in cubic centimeters that flows past a point in one second.
History/origin: Like mm³/s, it's derived from SI units. The cubic centimeter is a derived unit of volume (1 cm³ = 1 mL), and the 'per second' component indicates flow rate.
Current use: cm³/s is a commonly used unit for measuring small to medium flow rates in various scientific, engineering, and medical applications. It's often used interchangeably with milliliters per second (mL/s) since 1 cm³ = 1 mL.
Cubic kilometer per second
Definition: A cubic kilometer per second (km3/s) is a unit of volumetric flow rate representing one cubic kilometer of substance passing a point in one second. It is used to measure extremely large volumes of fluid or gas flow.
History/origin: The unit combines the cubic kilometer, a very large unit of volume, with 'per second,' indicating an extremely high rate of flow. It's primarily used in geological or astrophysical contexts where vast quantities are involved.
Current use: Km3/s is used in fields such as astrophysics (e.g., measuring material ejected from celestial events), geology (e.g., estimating the volume of volcanic eruptions), and extremely large scale fluid dynamic modeling.
