Cubic Centimeter
A cubic centimeter (cm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts as a standard unit of volume measurement, especially in fields like medicine and chemistry, since the adoption of the metric system in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., dosage), automotive engine capacities, and scientific experiments, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
Exaliter
An exaliter (EL) is a unit of volume equal to 10^18 liters, used to measure extremely large quantities of liquid.
History/Origin
The exaliter was introduced as part of the metric system's extended prefixes to facilitate measurement of vast volumes, though it is rarely used in practical applications due to its enormous size.
Current Use
The exaliter is primarily used in scientific contexts, such as astrophysics and large-scale environmental studies, where measuring extremely large volumes is necessary.
