About US teaspoon (tsp)
The US teaspoon (tsp) is a unit of culinary volume equal to approximately 4.929 milliliters, one third of a US tablespoon. It is one of the smallest standard US customary volume units, used in cooking, baking, and medicine for small ingredient quantities. The US teaspoon differs from the metric teaspoon (exactly 5 mL) and the imperial teaspoon (about 5.92 mL). In medicine, 5 mL is the standardized dosing teaspoon.
A standard dose of liquid children's medicine is one 5 mL teaspoon. A recipe calling for 1 tsp of vanilla extract uses about 4.93 mL.
About Cubic mile (mi³)
A cubic mile (mi³) is the volume of a cube with 1-mile sides, equal to approximately 4.168 trillion liters or about 4.168 km³. It is used in geoscience, hydrology, and environmental science to describe volumes of large water bodies, atmospheric water vapor, volcanic eruptions, and glacial ice. The total volume of Earth's oceans is approximately 320 million cubic miles. The unit is primarily used in US scientific and journalistic contexts.
The Great Lakes together contain about 5,440 mi³ of fresh water. The Amazon River discharges roughly 1.5 mi³ per day.
US teaspoon – Frequently Asked Questions
How many milliliters is a US teaspoon?
One US teaspoon equals approximately 4.929 mL, typically rounded to 5 mL in medicine and 4.93 mL in precise culinary conversions. The metric teaspoon used in Australia and Canada is exactly 5 mL.
What is the difference between a US teaspoon and an imperial teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is about 4.93 mL; an imperial (UK) teaspoon is about 5.92 mL — approximately 20% larger. This difference can affect recipes crossing US and UK sources, particularly for spices and leavening agents.
How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon?
In the US system, 3 teaspoons equal 1 tablespoon (3 × 4.929 mL = 14.787 mL). The metric equivalent is the same ratio: 3 × 5 mL = 15 mL tablespoon.
Is a medicine teaspoon the same as a cooking teaspoon?
Not exactly. Medicine dosing uses a standardized 5 mL teaspoon, while the US cooking teaspoon is about 4.93 mL. For medication accuracy, always use a calibrated oral syringe rather than a kitchen teaspoon, which can vary from 3 to 7 mL.
How many US teaspoons are in a cup?
There are 48 US teaspoons in one US cup: 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons.
Cubic mile – Frequently Asked Questions
How many liters are in a cubic mile?
One cubic mile equals approximately 4.168 × 10¹² liters (about 4.17 trillion liters) or roughly 4.168 km³. It is used only for planetary or geological scale volumes.
How much water is in the oceans in cubic miles?
Earth's oceans contain approximately 321 million cubic miles (1.335 billion km³) of water. The Pacific Ocean alone accounts for about 170 million cubic miles.
How does a cubic mile compare to a cubic kilometer?
One cubic mile equals approximately 4.168 cubic kilometers (km³). Geoscientists generally use km³; cubic miles appear mainly in US-origin journalism and older literature.
Is the cubic mile used in science?
The cubic mile is used in US-origin geoscience and hydrology texts for Great Lakes volumes, glacier mass loss, and ocean capacity. International scientific literature generally uses km³ instead.
How many cubic miles of water are in the Great Lakes?
The five Great Lakes together contain approximately 5,440 cubic miles (22,671 km³) of fresh water — about 21% of the world's surface fresh water. Lake Superior alone holds about 2,900 mi³.
