How to Convert Exaliter to Drop
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) = 2.000000e+22 Drop (gtt).

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 Drop (gtt)
Definition
The drop (medical/pharmacological) is an approximate unit of volume equal to about 0.05 milliliters, or 50 microliters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 drop ≈ 0.05 mL = 50 µL ≈ 1/20 mL. Approximately 20 drops = 1 mL (for water-like liquids).
Conversion Formula
To mL: multiply by 0.05 (approximate). To µL: multiply by 50. 20 drops ≈ 1 mL for aqueous solutions.
Practical Applications
Eye drop medication, ear drops, essential oil use, flavoring extracts in cooking, and IV drip rate measurement.
Interesting Facts
The size of a drop varies significantly: water drops from a glass dropper (~50 µL) differ from rain drops (~50,000–100,000 µL) by a factor of 1,000.
Common Mistakes
Assuming all drops are the same size — oily liquids produce larger drops than water. Always check the dropper calibration.
Educational Tips
20 drops ≈ 1 mL for water-based solutions. In IV therapy, standard drip sets deliver 10, 15, or 20 drops/mL depending on the design.
