To convert from cubic kilometers per second (km³/s) to cubic meters per second (m³/s), you need to understand the relationship between kilometers and meters.
1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1,000 meters (m). Therefore, one cubic kilometer is equal to cubic meters because volume is a cubic measurement.
So,
Therefore, 1 cubic kilometer per second is equal to 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) cubic meters per second.

Understanding cubic kilometers per second as a measurement helps in comprehending the scale of natural events and engineering projects. The above examples illustrate how quantities in cubic kilometers per second relate to real-world phenomena, demonstrating the massive volumes involved.
See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Cubic meters per second to other unit conversions.
A unit of measurement!
Cubic kilometers per second (km³/s) is a unit of volume flow rate. It measures the amount of water or any other fluid that flows through a given area in one second, expressed as a volume.
To put it into perspective:
This unit is commonly used to express the discharge rate of rivers, reservoirs, and other large bodies of water, as well as the flow rates of industrial processes like power plants or manufacturing facilities.
Cubic meeters per second measures amount of fluid passes though a cross-sectional area. In short, it measures flow rate.
Flow rate can be calculated using following formula:
- Flow rate
- Volume (Cubic meters)
- Time in seconds
- Cross-sectional area
- Distance the fluid traveled during the time
For more in-depth understanding of the flow rate read Flow Rate and Its Relation to Velocity from LibreTexts Physics website.
