What is a liter in volume?

Answer 1

Cubic metres are used to measure the volume of a fluid, or kilograms for the mass. This is true for the volume and mass of a gas, liquid or solid.

.... also ....

The liter is NOT a true SI unit of measure. See : http://www.bipm.org/utils/common/pdf/si_brochure_8_en.pdf for more information.

Answer 2

A liter is a measure of volume, so the simple (and annoying) answer is one liter. It is also equal to 1000 ml. If you took a cube 10 cm on a side and filled it with water, you'd have one liter of water. In US measurements, it is about 1.06 liquid quarts.

Answer 3

The volume of liquids can be measured in liters or cubic centimeters, cubic decimeters, or cubic meters. 1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter.

Answer 4

I would say that liters are used for measuring how much space an object takes (volume), like milliliters.

Answer 5

Volume and capacity are essentially the same. So you could say the litre is a suitable unit for both.
