Order of magnitude (volume)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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 ), the symbols V .
