What are Decimeter and Kilometer

Definition of Decimeter

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.

Definition of Kilometer

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.

Decimeter to Kilometer Conversion Table

Cubic Decimeter (dm^3) Cubic Kilometer (km^3)
1 dm^3 1e-12 km^3
10 dm^3 1e-11 km^3

Conversion of Decimeter to Kilometer

1 dm^3 = 1e-12 km^3
1 km^3 = 1e12 dm^3

Example 1:
Convert 5000 dm^3 to km^3:
5000 dm^3 = 5000 × 1e-12 km^3 = 5e-9 km^3

Example 2:
Convert 2.5e6 dm^3 to km^3:
2.5e6 dm^3 = 2.5e6 × 1e-12 km^3 = 2.5e-6 km^3
