Gallon (US)

The US gallon is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 231 cubic inches, which is approximately 3.785 liters or 4 quarts. The US gallon is primarily used in the United States to measure liquids such as fuel, beverages, and other fluids.

Origin:

The US gallon originated from the British gallon, which itself was derived from earlier definitions of the gallon in medieval England. The British gallon was based on the volume of eight pounds of water, but the US gallon, which was standardized in 1824, was redefined to be 231 cubic inches in volume. This definition was adopted to better align with the measurements used in the U.S. liquid measurement system. The US gallon is slightly smaller than the imperial gallon (used in the UK and other Commonwealth countries), which is defined as 4.54609 liters. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the US gallon remains widely used in the United States for measuring liquid volumes.

Cubic Mile

The cubic mile (mi³) is a unit of volume commonly used in the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are each 1 mile long. One cubic mile is equivalent to 4.16818183 × 10⁹ cubic meters (m³) or approximately 1.1 trillion liters. It is primarily used to measure vast volumes, such as the volume of large bodies of water or geological formations.

Origin:

The cubic mile is derived from the mile, a unit of length in the imperial system that originated from the Roman mille passus (meaning "a thousand paces"). The mile was standardized over time and became widely used in the United Kingdom and United States for long-distance measurements. The cubic mile, as a unit of volume, developed as a way to measure vast quantities or volumes that are often encountered in fields like geology, hydrology, and astronomy. Although the cubic mile is not part of the metric system, it continues to be used in countries that follow the imperial or U.S. customary systems for measuring large volumes.
