1,000 ml = 1 liter - metric volume

1ml

1,000 milliliters = 1 liter. The prefix 'milli-' means 1/1000.

💡Easy because metric is base-10: 1000 ml = 1 L, just like 1000 m = 1 km.

500 ml = 0.5 L = 1 pint (approx). 250 ml ≈ 1 cup. 750 ml = standard wine bottle.

💡A can of soda is 330-355 ml. A large water bottle is often 1L or 1.5L.

1 liter = 33.8 fl oz ≈ 4.2 cups ≈ 2.1 pints ≈ 1.06 quarts.

💡A liter is just a tiny bit more than a quart.

Medicine: dosed in ml. Drinks: sold in ml/L. Gas: sold in liters (outside US). Cooking: recipes use ml/L worldwide.

💡1 ml of water weighs exactly 1 gram - metric is convenient!

Yes! 1 ml = 1 cc (cubic centimeter). Medical settings often use cc.

Divide ml by 237 (or roughly 240) to get cups. 240 ml ≈ 1 cup.

Historical reasons. Most of the world switched to metric. The US kept imperial/customary units.
