A gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume in the metric system equal to one billion liters (109 L).
It can be challenging to visualize just how large a single gigaliter (GL) really is.
To put its immense scale into perspective, one gigaliter is the same as:
This massive scale is why the gigaliter is used for measuring things like a city's water supply or the capacity of a reservoir.
The gigaliter is a standard unit for measuring large-scale water resources and consumption.
You'll often see it used when discussing:
For example, Sydney Harbour contains roughly 500 gigaliters of water.
Measuring volumes in gigaliters is vital for professionals in:
The gigaliter fits neatly within the International System of Units (SI). The prefix "giga" means a factor of one billion.
This makes the conversions straightforward:
It is also equivalent to one million cubic meters (1,000,000 m3) and one-thousandth of a cubic kilometer (0.001 km3).
This makes it a perfect unit for measuring volumes that are too large for liters but smaller than a whole cubic kilometer.
A tablespoon (often abbreviated as Tbs or tbsp) is a common unit of volume used in cooking and baking.
In the US customary system, one tablespoon is equal to 0.5 fluid ounces (fl oz).
The most essential kitchen conversion to remember is that one tablespoon is equal to exactly three teaspoons.
This simple formula (1 tbsp = 3 tsp) is crucial for getting your recipes right, especially when you don't have a complete set of measuring spoons.
When following recipes from around the world or using a kitchen scale, you'll need the metric conversion.
A standard United States tablespoon is equal to approximately 15 milliliters (ml).
While the precise measurement is 14.787 ml, it is universally rounded to 15 ml for culinary convenience.
It's important to know that a tablespoon's volume can vary by country, which can affect your recipe. Always check where your recipe comes from!
