About these units
Minim (UK) (minim (UK))
The UK minim is one of the smallest traditional volume units, equal to 1/60 of a dram, or roughly 0.059 milliliters. Introduced in the early 19th century to replace the inconsistent "drop," the minim allowed physicians and pharmacists to dose potent liquid medicines more reliably. Before modern syringes and droppers, apothecaries needed a precise micro-unit that could be measured using graduated glassware. The minim served this purpose exceptionally well and was foundational in early medical standardization. Although no longer used in contemporary medicine, it remains historically important, especially in pharmacology, toxicology, and the study of pre-modern medical practice.
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.
