Cubic meter
Definition: A cubic meter (symbol: m³) is the SI derived unit of volume. It is the volume of a cube with sides one meter in length.
History/origin: The cubic meter is derived from the meter, the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is a fundamental unit for measuring three-dimensional space.
Current use: Cubic meters are used extensively in construction, engineering, and environmental science for measuring volumes of materials like concrete, soil, and air. They are also used in calculating the capacity of large spaces.
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.
