Converting from Cubic Kilometer (km³) to Cubic Hectometer (hm³)

What is Cubic Kilometer (km³)

A cubic kilometer (km³) is a unit of volume that represents a cube with each side measuring one kilometer. This unit is often used in various fields, including geography, meteorology, and oceanography, to measure large volumes of space, such as the volume of lakes, forests, or atmospheric layers. A single cubic kilometer is equivalent to 109 cubic meters (m³), making it a significant measurement for large-scale assessments.

What is Cubic Hectometer (hm³)

A cubic hectometer (hm³) is another unit of volume, equivalent to a cube with each side measuring one hectometer. A hectometer equals 100 meters, so one cubic hectometer equals 13 hm³ = 106 m³. The cubic hectometer is generally used for measuring volumes in more localized settings compared to cubic kilometers. It is particularly useful in agriculture, hydrology, and hydraulics.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from cubic kilometers to cubic hectometers, you can use the following formula:

To convert from cubic hectometers to cubic kilometers, the formula is:

As a note, the relationship between kilometers and hectometers is:

1 km to 1 hm: 1hm=1km×10

Examples

Here are some examples of conversions between cubic kilometers and cubic hectometers:
