so and so many football fields

This compares an area (especially Galileo). At 18,000,000,000 cubic meters of water, i.e. 18km3, it becomes difficult.

Imagine a tower that is one kilometre wide, one kilometre long and 18km high. And the one filled with water.

Edit: Or imagine the complete country of Berlin, which was flooded up ~20m. Then you’d have about your 18,000,000,000l of water.

Imagine an ice cube in which the Eifel tower is standing upright and even about 60 meters high and in original size!

That would be 18 billion cubic meters of water.

PS: just got a little lesson. the root of the root is not the cubic root!

have been thinking again. It would be an ice cube with an edge length of 2.6 km!

The twin towers could be placed in the dice about 4200 times. in each case 41 rows รก 41 towers and that in 5 layers one above the other.

right!

Thank you

The 18 km^3 water is accidentally exactly the amount of water https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kachowkaer_Stausee

Another consideration would be football fields (FF), ABER that is just one area!

FF: 120x80m=9600m^2 โ‰…1ha.

A 1km2 is known to have 100 ha, i.e. 100 FF.

18 km^3, would be 1 km^2=100 FF with 18 m water column/depth

Or 1000 FF with 1.8 m water column/depth…

Or 10,000 FF with 18 cm water column/depth…

So I hope I didn’t make a fugitive mistake.

I think a size comparison with a known lake is appropriate.

There is the Lake Constance, one of the largest lakes in Central Europe and has a water volume of about 48 cubic kilometres, which corresponds to 48 billion cubic metres. With 18 billion cubic meters of water, you could fill a little less than half the volume of Lake Constance. It’s a good idea.

And I would have another one because I know the size of swimming pools:

With 18 billion cubic meters of water you could fill about 7 million Olympic swimming pools.

you can compare it with 18 cubic kilometers.

A cube with 2626 m or 2.6 km edge length
