How to convert cups to cubic kilometers?

To convert 1 cup to cubic kilometers, you need to understand the relationship between these units.

1 cup (US) is equivalent to 0.000236588 cubic meters.

The conversion steps are as follows:

1. Convert cups to cubic meters.
2. Convert cubic meters to cubic kilometers.

Conversion Details:

1. Cups to Cubic Meters: $1 \text{ cup} = 0.000236588 \text{ cubic meters}$

2. Cubic Meters to Cubic Kilometers: $1 \text{ cubic kilometer} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ cubic meters}$

   To convert cubic meters to cubic kilometers, you divide by 1,000,000,000: $0.000236588 \text{ cubic meters} \div 1,000,000,000 = 2.36588 \times 10^{-13} \text{ cubic kilometers}$
