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.

History/origin: The centilitre is derived from the litre, which was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system. The prefix 'centi-' denotes one hundredth, reflecting its relationship to the litre.
Current use: Centilitres are commonly used in the beverage industry for measuring small quantities of liquids, such as individual servings of drinks. They are also found in recipes and laboratory settings.
