litre

A litre is a unit of volume used to measure liquids and other fluids. It is equivalent to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³) or one quart and a quarter of a gallon in the imperial system. Imagine a cube that measures 10 centimeters on each side; filling this cube with water amounts to one litre. It’s commonly used worldwide for bottles of beverages, fuel, and liquid measurements in cooking and science. The litre helps quantify how much space a liquid occupies, making it easier to understand and compare different volumes.
