1 E+9 m³

To help compare different orders of magnitudes this page lists volumes between 1 and 10 cubic kilometres ($$10^{9} to $$10^{10} 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
** 0.2399127586 cubic mile
** A sphere of this volume has a radius of 620.350491 m
*1.2 billion m³ — approximate volume of rock ejected during the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens
* 1.3 billion m³ — volume of Lake Biel, Switzerland
* 2.5 billion m³ — volume of Lake Walen, Switzerland
* 3.2 billion m³ — volume of Lake Zug
* 3.9 billion m³ — volume of Lake Zürich
* 4,168,181,825 m³ — one cubic mile
* 5 billion m³ — volume of crude oil consumed by the world in a year
* 5.17 billion m³ — volume of Lake Brienz
* 5.2 billion m³ — volume of the artificial Gatun Lake (Panama Canal)
* 6.5 billion m³ — volume of Lake Thun
* 6.5 billion m³ — volume of Lake Lugano----
