  Weights And Measures - LoveToKnow 1911
Of the metric units international definitions have been stated as follows: (a) The unit of volume for determinations of a high degree of accuracy is the volume occupied by the mass of 1 kilogram of pure water at its maximum density and under the normal atmospheric pressure; this volume is called litre.
The two standards, the cubic inch and the cubic decimetre, may not be strictly comparable owing to a difference in the normal temperature (Centigrade and Fahrenheit scales) of the two units of extension, the metre and the yard.
The Roman amphora being equal to the cubic foot, and containing 80 librae of water, is one of the strongest cases of such relations, being often mentioned by ancient writers.

 Megametre
A megametre (American spelling: megameter) (symbol: Mm) is a unit of length equal to 10
The Earth's equatorial diameter is 12.76 Mm The mean distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384.4 Mm Jupiter's equatorial diameter is 143 Mm.
Megametres are rarely seen in practical use, because they are too big for most terrestrial tasks.

 Kilometer | Koordinaten / Informationen / Encyclopedia of terms - Kilometer
Like the kilometre, all units of length in the metric system are based on the metre, by adding an SI prefix that stands for a power of ten, such as hecto for one hundred to form hectometre (0.1 kilometre) or mega for one million to form megametre (1,000 kilometres).
The metre is not only the basis for all units of length in the metric system, but also of units of area (the square metre) and volume (the cubic metre).
In theory, the pronunciation of the word kilometre should have the stress placed on the first syllable, in line with other metric prefixes (as in kilogram, kilojoule and, analogous, kilobyte).

This extends to the kilometre, so one can have square and cubic kilometres.
Unicode has symbols for "km" (㎞), for square kilometre (㎢) and for cubic kilometre (㎦); however, they are useful only in CJK texts, where they are equal in size to one Chinese character.

These were derived from each other via the properties of natural objects, mainly water: 1 litre of water weighs 1 kg and measures 1 cubic decimetre (dm³).
Other units were derived from this, such as the Celsius temperature scale, where water freezes as 0°C and boils as 100°C.
Some of the common prefixes are, however, rarely used for some units: the expressions hectometre, megametre and megagram are hardly ever heard, neither are decigram and centigram, while hectogram (often shortened to hecto), megalitre, decimetre and centimetre are commonly used measures in many countries.

In reports where volumes at actual conditions are used this should always be mentioned separately.
"Mm " is NOT a "mega cubic metre" or a million cubic metre but a "cubic megametre" (compare with "cubic centimetre").
As you will realize, the difference is a factor 10 to the power 12.

 Metrication, metric conversion, and other Metrication matters: Why metrication matters
If you are measuring from here to your capital city, you will probably use kilometres, and if it's the width of a whole continent, you might use megametres.
As you use the metric system, you will never have to deal with 2s, 3s, 4s, 12s, or 16s (as you do with 2 pints in a quart; 3 feet in a yard; 4 quarters in a hundredweight; 12 inches in a foot; or 16 ounces in a pound).
You don't have to remember any other strange numbers like 231 (cubic inches in a gallon (USA)), 2240 (pounds in a long ton), 5280 (feet in a mile) or hundreds of other similar diversities.

IceCube in particular will be a cubic kilometre array of optical detectors buried below the Antarctic ice.
Low-frequency sound is the only tool we have for probing ocean structure, as frequencies below 100 Hz can travel large (megametre) distances with little attenuation, trapped in a focussing channel.
However, high ambient noise levels and the relatively low power of man-made sources mean that sophisticated pulse-compression techniques are necessary to enhance the received signal-to-noise ratio.

An important factor in these estimates is the sulphur content of various fuels which form the basis of the Fuels Information Regulations, promulgated under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.
The regulations apply to companies producing or importing into Canada more than 400 cubic metres of a fuel containing any additive other than lead compounds.
Information on the sulphur content of these fuels and new additives must be reported under the regulations.
