( Litre)
The litre or liter (see spelling differences) is a unit of volume. There are two official symbols the Latin letter L in lower (l) (to avoid confusion with the number 1 often as cursive l) and upper case (L). The litre appears in several versions of the metric system; although not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI.[1] The international unit of volume is the cubic metre (m3). One litre is equal to 0.001 cubic metre and is denoted as 1 cubic decimetre (dm3). The word "litre" is derived from an older French unit, the litron, whose name came from Greek via Latin. The original French metric system used the litre as a base unit. The spelling of the word recommended by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures is "litre".[1] However, the American English spelling is "liter", which is officially endorsed by the United States.[2] A litre is defined as a special name for a cubic decimetre (1 L = 1 dm3). Hence 1 L = 0.001 m3 (exactly). So 1000 L = 1 m3
