About these units
Gallon (UK) (gal (UK))
The UK gallon, defined as 4.54609 liters, is larger than the US gallon by nearly 20%. It originated from the British desire to standardize wine and ale measures, leading to a uniform definition during the 19th century. Today, the UK gallon appears in older recipes, fuel consumption discussions, and British Commonwealth trade documents. Although the UK now uses liters for petrol and milk, the gallon remains culturally familiar, especially in automotive contexts such as miles per gallon (MPG), where both imperial and US definitions cause frequent confusion. The UK gallon's legacy persists through its continued use in some Commonwealth nations and specialized industries where imperial measures remain customary.
Teraliter (TL)
A teraliter equals one trillion liters and is most often used in planetary science, hydrology, and climate modeling. Earth's oceans, glaciers, and atmospheric water content are sometimes described using teraliters, especially when modeling changes in global water distribution due to climate change. Although rarely encountered outside scientific literature, the TL provides crucial insight into large-scale resource balance, enabling researchers to track long-term storage and movement of Earth's water across millennia.
