In this article I will show you how to convert 178 cubic kilometers into cubic meters. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 178 km³ to m³. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Cubic kilometers to Cubic meters
A cubic kilometer is greater than a cubic meter. I know that a km³ is greater than a m³ because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 178 cubic kilometers into cubic meters, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for km³ to m³ is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 178 km³ to m³ by multiplying 1000000
by the number of cubic kilometers we have, which is 178.
So, the answer to the question "what is 178 cubic kilometers in cubic meters?" is 178000000 m³.
