A litre is a metric unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one decimetre. It is the base unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI), and is commonly used for measuring liquids and gases. The litre is defined as 1/1,000 cubic meters, or 1,000 cubic centimetres.
The following table shows the conversion factors between litres and other units of volume:
Unit | Conversion to Litres |
---|---|
Cubic metre (m³) | 1 m³ = 1,000 L |
Cubic centimetre (cm³) | 1 cm³ = 1 mL |
Millilitre (mL) | 1 mL = 1/1,000 L |
Gallon (US) | 1 gal (US) = 3.785 L |
Gallon (UK) | 1 gal (UK) ≈ 4.546 L |
Ounce (US fluid) | 1 fl oz (US) = 0.0296 L |
Ounce (UK fluid) | 1 fl oz (UK) = 0.0284 L |
Litres are used in a wide variety of applications, including:
Measuring volume accurately is important in a variety of applications. For example, in cooking, using the correct amount of ingredients is essential for creating a successful dish. In science, accurate volume measurements are required to ensure that experiments are conducted correctly.
There are several benefits to using litres as a unit of volume:
Q: What is the difference between a litre and a millilitre?
A: A litre is 1,000 times larger than a millilitre.
Q: How many millilitres are there in a gallon?
A: There are approximately 3,785 millilitres in a gallon.
