Kuutiökilometri

Kuutiökilometri is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is equivalent to the volume of a cube with sides measuring one kilometer each. The symbol for kuutiökilometri is km³. It is a very large unit of volume, commonly used to measure things like the volume of water in lakes, oceans, or the amount of rainfall over a large area. For comparison, a standard Olympic-sized swimming pool holds approximately 2,500 kuutiometriä, which is significantly smaller than a kuutiökilometri. One kuutiökilometri is equal to one billion kuutiometriä (10⁹ m³). The term "kuutiökilometri" is a direct translation of "cubic kilometer" from English. Its usage is prevalent in fields such as hydrology, meteorology, and environmental science when dealing with vast quantities.
