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.

Kilolitre

Definition: A kilolitre (symbol: kL) is a unit of volume equal to 1000 litres. It is a multiple of the litre, the standard unit of volume in the metric system.

History/origin: The kilolitre is based on the litre, which was introduced in France in 1795 as part of the metric system. The prefix 'kilo-' denotes one thousand, indicating its scale relative to the litre.

Current use: Kilolitres are used to measure large volumes of liquids, such as water in reservoirs, industrial storage tanks, and swimming pools. They are also used for bulk transportation of liquids.
