About these units
Earth's Volume (V⊕)
The volume of Earth is approximately 1.08321 × 10¹² cubic kilometers, representing the space occupied by the entire planet. This massive number underpins calculations in geology, seismology, planetary science, and orbital mechanics. For example, Earth's volume helps determine average density, which in turn informs scientists about the planet's interior structure—its crust, mantle, and core. The Earth's volume also allows comparison to other planets, moons, and exoplanets, providing insight into their likely composition, habitability, and geological evolution. Measuring the volume of Earth is a triumph of scientific precision, relying on satellite geodesy, mathematical modeling, and centuries of accumulated observation.
Gill (UK) (gi (UK))
A UK gill equals 142 mL, traditionally used in measuring spirits, whiskey, beer, and cooking ingredients. The gill was once a common pub measure, with quarter-gill and half-gill servings used before modern standardized alcohol units replaced them. While now mostly obsolete, the gill is still recognized in historical cocktail recipes, British literature, and the study of older trade practices.
