To convert cubic kilometers to cubic meters, multiply the value by 1,000,000,000. To go the other way, multiply cubic meters by 1 × 10⁻⁹ to get cubic kilometers.
| Cubic Kilometers (km³) | Cubic Meters (m³) |
|---|---|
| 1 km³ | 1,000,000,000 m³ |
| 2 km³ | 2,000,000,000 m³ |
| 5 km³ | 5,000,000,000 m³ |
| 10 km³ | 10,000,000,000 m³ |
| 20 km³ | 20,000,000,000 m³ |
| 50 km³ | 50,000,000,000 m³ |
| 100 km³ | 100,000,000,000 m³ |
| 500 km³ | 500,000,000,000 m³ |
| 1,000 km³ | 1,000,000,000,000 m³ |
25 km³ × 1,000,000,000 = 25,000,000,000 m³
Try this example →250 km³ × 1,000,000,000 = 250,000,000,000 m³
Try this example →Cubic kilometer (km³). A cubic kilometer is a billion cubic meters, used for lakes, glaciers and reservoirs.
Cubic meter (m³). The cubic meter is the SI unit of volume, 1,000 liters.
There are 1,000,000,000 cubic meters in one cubic kilometer.
Multiply the number of cubic kilometers by 1,000,000,000. For example, 10 cubic kilometers equal 10,000,000,000 cubic meters.
One cubic meter equals 1 × 10⁻⁹ cubic kilometers.
