How to Convert Exaliter to Dekaliter
To liters: multiply by 10¹⁸. To km³: multiply by 10⁶. To petaliters: multiply by 1,000.
1 EL = 10¹⁸ L = 10¹⁵ m³ = 10⁶ km³ = 1,000 PL.
For example, 1 Exaliter (EL) = 1.000000e+17 Dekaliter (daL).

About Exaliter (EL)
Definition
The exaliter is a unit of volume equal to 10¹⁸ liters, or one million cubic kilometers.
Mathematical Relationship
1 EL = 10¹⁸ L = 10¹⁵ m³ = 10⁶ km³ = 1,000 PL.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10¹⁸. To km³: multiply by 10⁶. To petaliters: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
No practical applications — this scale exists only for astronomical and theoretical comparisons.
Interesting Facts
All the water on Earth (oceans, ice, groundwater, lakes, rivers, atmosphere) totals about 1.386 EL.
Common Mistakes
Almost never encountered, so mistakes are rare. The main risk is confusion with other 'E' prefixes (e.g., eV in energy).
Educational Tips
Think of the exaliter as the 'planet volume' unit. Earth's oceans ≈ 1.335 EL. Prefix: exa = 10¹⁸ = quintillion.
About Dekaliter (daL)
Definition
The dekaliter is a unit of volume equal to 10 liters, sometimes used in agriculture and wholesale trade.
Mathematical Relationship
1 daL = 10 L = 10,000 mL = 0.01 m³. There are 100 daL in one cubic meter.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10. To gallons (US): multiply by 2.64172. To cubic meters: multiply by 0.01.
Practical Applications
Grain measurement in agriculture, some wholesale liquid commodities, and European wine production quantities.
Interesting Facts
The dekaliter is one of the least commonly used SI-prefixed volume units, overshadowed by liters for small volumes and hectoliters for large ones.
Common Mistakes
Confusing 'da' (deka, 10) with 'd' (deci, 0.1). A dekaliter is 10 L, while a deciliter is 0.1 L — a 100× difference.
Educational Tips
Think of a dekaliter as a large bucket or carboy holding 10 liters. The prefix 'deka' just means ten.
