Current Use
The milliliter is widely used in science, medicine, cooking, and everyday measurements to quantify liquids and small volumes.
Petaliter
A petaliter (PL) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one quadrillion liters, used primarily in scientific contexts for expressing extremely large volumes.
History/Origin
The petaliter was introduced as part of the extended metric system to facilitate measurements in fields such as astronomy and large-scale environmental studies, gaining recognition in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Currently, the petaliter is used mainly in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and climate science, to quantify vast volumes such as cosmic gas clouds or global water reserves.
