Cubic kilometer per second [km3/s] to Cubic Centimeter per second [cm3/s] Converter
Quick Reference
1 Cubic kilometer per second (km3/s) = 1.0000e+15 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s)
1 Cubic Centimeter per second (cm3/s) = 1.0000e-15 Cubic kilometer per second (km3/s)
How to Convert Cubic kilometer per second to Cubic Centimeter per second
1 km3/s = 1000000000000000 cm3/s
1 cm3/s = 1e-15 km3/s
To convert Cubic kilometer per second to Cubic Centimeter per second, multiply the value by 1.0000e+15. To convert Cubic Centimeter per second back to Cubic kilometer per second, divide by 1.0000e+15.
Example: convert 10 km3/s to cm3/s:
10 km3/s = 10 x 1000000000000000 = 10000000000000000 cm3/s
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.
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.
