1 km3 = 10000000000000 dl

Example: convert 48 dl to km3:
48 dl = 48 x 1e-13 = 4.8000000000000005e-12 km3

Decilitre

Definition: A decilitre (symbol: dL) is a unit of volume equal to one tenth of a litre. It is a decimal submultiple of the litre, the standard unit of volume in the metric system.

History/origin: The decilitre originates from the metric system, which was established in France in the late 18th century. The prefix 'deci-' indicates one tenth, signifying its fraction relative to the litre.

Current use: Decilitres are frequently employed in European countries in cooking recipes. Also, they're sometimes used in medical contexts for measuring fluids, especially blood, and in scientific experiments when volume is a critical parameter.

Cubic kilometer

Definition: A cubic kilometer (symbol: km³) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides one kilometer in length. It is a large unit of volume.

History/origin: The cubic kilometer is derived from the kilometer, which is a multiple of the meter, the base unit of length in the SI. It's primarily used for very large volumes.

Current use: Cubic kilometers are mainly used in geographical and environmental contexts to measure volumes of water bodies, such as lakes and oceans, and to estimate the volume of large geological features or ice masses.
