The litre (L), a unit of volume, is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used worldwide. It is defined as the volume occupied by a cube with sides measuring exactly 10 centimetres. In the United States, the gallon is also commonly used, but the litre is gaining popularity due to its simplicity and global recognition.

Millilitre (mL) | 0.001 litres |
Centilitre (cL) | 0.01 litres |
Decilitre (dL) | 0.1 litres |
Kilolitre (kL) | 1000 litres |
While litres and gallons are both units of volume, they differ in their measurements.
Conversion Factors:
Example:
To convert 5 litres to millilitres:
5 litres x 1000 = 5000 mL
To convert 2500 mL to litres:
2500 mL ÷ 1000 = 2.5 litres
