Cubic Mile (mi³)
About 4.168 cubic kilometers. Used for very large volumes.
1 cubic mile = 4,168,181,825,441 liters (approximately).
About the cubic mile
Defined as the volume of a cube whose sides are one mile, this unit belongs to the imperial and US customary systems and is used in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Because the international mile is exactly 1,609.344 meters, the cubic mile is fixed too: about 4.168182 cubic kilometers, a value NIST lists as 4.168 182 times 10 to the 9 cubic meters.
Other equivalents give a feel for its size. Wikipedia lists about 3.38 million acre-feet, around 1.1 trillion US liquid gallons and roughly 147 billion cubic feet. The figure used here is 4,168,181,825,440.58 liters, matching the Wikipedia value of 4.168181825 km3. Since a cubic kilometer is about 0.2399 of a cubic mile, converting between the two is a matter of a factor a little over four.
