Conversion Formula

1 dm3 = 1.00e-12 km3

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Cubic Decimeter = 0.001000 cubic meters
   1 Cubic Kilometer = 1,000,000,000 cubic meters
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 dm3 = (0.001000 m³) / (1,000,000,000 m³/km3) = 1.00e-12 km3
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in dm3 by 1.00e-12 to get the equivalent in km3
