What are Decimeter and Kilometer

A decimeter is a metric unit of length, equivalent to one-tenth of a meter. It is often used in measurements where slightly finer granularity than a meter is required. In its cubic form, it measures volume and represents the amount of space contained within a cube whose sides are one decimeter in length.

A kilometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one thousand meters. It is commonly used to measure distances between geographical locations on land. A cubic kilometer, meanwhile, measures volume, representing the space within a cube that has each side measuring one kilometer in length.
