To help compare the orders of magnitude of different volumes, here is a list of volumes between 1050 m3 and 1060 m³. Objects such as a planetary nebula up to a dwarf galaxy typically have volumes in this range. See also volumes or capacities of other orders of magnitude.
1 E50 to 1E53 m³
- 4.4 × 1050 m³ = approximate volume of the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) (assuming a radius of 5 light years, sources differ)[1][2]
1 E53 to 1 E56 m³
- 3 × 1055 m³ = estimated volume of a small dwarf galaxy like NGC 1705
- 3.3 × 1055 m³ = estimated volume of the Local Bubble, assuming a radius of 100 parsecs
1 E56 to 1 E59 m³
- 3 × 1058 m³ = estimated volume of a dwarf galaxy like the Large Magellanic Cloud
- 2.93799894 × 1058 m³ = 1 cubic kiloparsec
1 E59 m³ and larger
