About these units
Hectoliter (hL)
A hectoliter, equal to 100 liters, is widely used in brewery and wine production, grain measurement, and hydrology. Many countries report beer production in hectoliters, and grain yields (such as wheat or barley) are sometimes expressed this way in agricultural economics. In hydrology, rainfall accumulation or reservoir inflows may be quantified in hectoliters when dealing with moderate-scale measurements. The hL bridges industrial-scale volume tracking with metric simplicity, keeping numbers relatively compact and readable.
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.
