Stere
The stere (st) is a unit of volume used to measure large quantities of natural gas or other gases, equivalent to one thousand cubic meters (1,000 m³).
History/Origin
The stere originated in France in the 19th century as a practical unit for measuring natural gas volumes, particularly in the gas industry, and has been adopted in various countries for industrial and commercial purposes.
Current Use
Today, the stere is primarily used in the natural gas industry to quantify large volumes of gas, especially in regions where the metric system is standard, facilitating trade and regulation.
Cubic Kilometer
A cubic kilometer (km^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with edges of one kilometer in length.
History/Origin
The cubic kilometer has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure large volumes, especially in geology, hydrology, and environmental sciences, as a convenient unit for expressing vast quantities of water, earth, or other materials.
Current Use
Today, the cubic kilometer is primarily used in fields such as hydrology to quantify large-scale water volumes, like reservoirs and aquifers, and in geology and environmental science to measure large volumes of earth or other substances.
