1 E+9 m³

To help compare different orders of magnitudes this page lists volumes between 1 and 10 cubic kilometres (10⁹ to 10¹⁰ cubic metres). See also volumes or capacities of other orders of magnitude.

• Volumes smaller than 1 billion (a thousand million) cubic metres

• 1 E+9 m³ or 10⁹ m³ equals:
  • 1 billion m³ (1 milliard m³ in long scale terminology, one thousand million cubic metres)
  • 1 km³ (cubic kilometre), hence a cube of this volume has an edge of 1,000 m
