About these units
Liters (L): A litre is 1,000 cm³ (one cubic decimetre). Drinks, fuel and liquids are sold in litres in most countries.
Cubic Centimeters (cm³): A cubic centimetre (cc) is exactly one millilitre. Engine sizes and medical volumes are often given in cc.
Frequently asked questions
How many cubic centimetres are in 1 litre?
1 litre equals 1,000 cubic centimetres (cm³).
How do I convert L to cm³?
Multiply the value in litres by 1,000. For example, 5 L × 1,000 = 5,000 cm³.
How do I convert cubic centimetres back to litres?
Multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000). 1 cm³ = 0.001 L.
What is a litre?
A litre is 1,000 cm³ (one cubic decimetre). Drinks, fuel and liquids are sold in litres in most countries.
