Order of magnitude (volume)
This is a compilation of volumes of different sizes for comparison purposes. The information is often to be understood as “typical values”; the converted values are rounded.
The basic unit of the meter unit derived of volume in the international system of units is 1 cubic meter ( unit symbol m³ ), the symbols V .
