About these units
Cup (US) (cup (US))
A US cup equals 8 fluid ounces, or approximately 236.588 mL. It is indispensable in American cooking, baking, and beverage measurement. Although not an SI unit, the cup remains deeply entrenched in recipes, cookbooks, and kitchen culture. Its intuitive size makes it ideal for measuring flour, sugar, liquids, and many everyday ingredients. American cups differ from metric and UK cups, leading to variation across international recipes, but within the US culinary tradition, the cup is a central volumetric tool.
Exaliter (EL)
An exaliter, equal to 10¹⁸ liters, appears in discussions of planetary-scale volumes, such as estimating water content across extraterrestrial oceans, atmospheric volumes of gas giants, or hydrospheric mass estimates in exoplanet research. Because this unit is so large, it is rarely used in practical Earth-based science except in global summations. However, in cosmology or exoplanet studies, Vast quantities of liquids or gases on super-Earths or ocean worlds may be expressed in EL to maintain manageable numeric magnitudes. The exaliter represents the outer limits of volumetric units still grounded in physical application rather than purely abstract scaling.
