The cubic kilometer is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000,000,000 cubic meters. The symbol of the cubic kilometer is kmÂ³ . km3 = 1,000,000,000 m3 = 109 m3. To convert cubic kilometers to hmÂ³, damÂ³, mÂ³, dmÂ³, cmÂ³ and mmÂ³ , multiply by one followed by as many trios of zeros as there are places between the cubic kilometer and the other unit.
Rod photoreceptors are very sensitive to light and are responsible for night vision. These are the most abundant cell type in the human retina and are located closest to the back of the eye, near the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE).
Rod cell. Rod cells, or rods, are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells. Rods are concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision. On average, there are approximately 90 million rod cells in the human retina. More sensitive than cone cells, rod cells are almost entirely responsible for night vision.
