Unit Conversion
Unit conversion involves changing a quantity expressed in one unit to another unit. For volume, this requires knowing the relationships between different units, such as 1 m³ = 1,000,000 cm³ and 1 km³ = 1,000,000,000,000 cm³. Mastery of these conversions is crucial for accurately expressing volume in different contexts.
