Key Stage 3
Meaning
Litres (L) are a unit for measuring the volume of an object.
About Metres Cubed
- Litres are shortened to a upper case L or sometimes an lower case l.
- 1 litre of water has a mass of roughly 1kg.
- Beakers can be up to 1 litre in volume.
Convert to Litres
| Unit | To convert | Litres |
| 1 metre cubed (1m3) | Convert to litres x1000. | 1000L |
| 1 litre (1l) | Convert to litres x1. | 1L |
| 1 centimetre cubed (1cm3) | Convert to litres /1000. | 0.001L |
| 1 millilitres (1ml) | Convert to litres /1000. | 0.001L |
Key Stage 4
Meaning
Litres (L) are a unit of volume that is 1000 times smaller than metres cubed.
About Litres Cubed
- Litres are shortened to a upper case L or sometimes an lower case l.
- A decimetre cubed is the volume of a cube with sides of 10cm each. Since a 10centimetres is 0.1 metres then a litre is 0.1 x 0.1 x 0.1 metres cubed (0.001m3).
- A litre is the same volume as a decimetre cubed.
Convert to Litres
| Unit | To convert | Litres |
| 1 metre cubed (1m3) | Convert to litres x103. | 1x103dm3 |
| 1 litre (1l) | Convert to litres x1. | 1L |
| 1 decimetre cubed (1dm3) | Convert to litres x1. | 1L |
| 1 centimetre cubed (1cm3) | Convert to litres x10-3. | 1x10-3L |
| 1 millilitre (1ml) | Convert to litres x10-3. | 1x10-3L |
