About these units
Cubic Kilometer (km³)
A cubic kilometer represents one billion cubic meters, making it a colossal volume unit used in geology, hydrology, glaciology, and planetary science. Large lakes, ice sheets, magma chambers, and atmospheric water content are often measured in km³. Earth's total ocean volume—about 1.335 billion km³—illustrates the unit's utility in describing planetary-scale systems. The km³ gives scientists a manageable number when dealing with natural features too massive for cubic meters or liters to express conveniently.
Teaspoon (Metric) (tsp (m))
The metric teaspoon is universally fixed at 5 mL, offering complete consistency across countries that use metric culinary measurements. This simplicity is a major advantage over historical teaspoon variations. In metric recipe writing—especially in Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Europe—teaspoons serve as standardized micro-measures that are easy to convert and scale. Its widespread adoption demonstrates the advantages of aligning traditional kitchen practices with the predictable structure of the metric system.
