Step by step guide to convert cubic kilometers to cubic meters

Converting units

Cubic prefix used with length is used for measuring volume. Since both units has meters we just need to convert the metric prefix. Cubic metre or m^3 is an volume which is 1m long and 1m wide and 1m height. There is 1/1000 kilometer in a meter. Thus,

$$1m * 1m * 1m = \frac{1}{1000}km*\frac{1}{1000}km*\frac{1}{1000}km$$

$$1 m^3 = 10^{-9}km^3$$

or

$$1 km^3 = 10^{9}m^3$$
