A liter (l) is a fundamental unit used to measure volume in the metric system.
In simple terms, it measures the amount of space a substance occupies, like the amount of soda in a bottle. The plural form is liters.
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 during the French Revolution.
It was created as part of a movement toward a more logical and universal system of measurement, which later evolved into the modern metric system.
Initially, the definition of a liter was based on the weight of one kilogram of pure water.
While the original definition was based on the mass of water, it was updated for greater precision and consistency.
Today, the official definition directly connects the liter to a unit of length, making it easier to understand.
So, how big is a liter?
A liter is officially defined as exactly one cubic decimeter (1 dm3).
This means a liter is the volume of a perfect cube with sides that are each 10 centimeters long (10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm).
The difference between "liter" and "litre" is simply a regional spelling choice—the volume they represent is precisely the same!
Both spellings are correct, and the one you use depends on where you are.
A cubic foot (ft3) is a standard unit of volume used in the United States imperial system.
It represents the space inside a cube that is one foot long on every side. The plural form is cubic feet.
It can be hard to picture a measurement, but a cubic foot is a widespread size.
Imagine a standard cardboard box measuring 1 foot wide, 1 foot long, and 1 foot high. This space can hold:
This real-world comparison helps you estimate the volume of everyday spaces, from the capacity of a fish tank to the amount of soil needed for a garden bed.
The cubic foot is used to measure volume in many household and commercial applications.
You will often see it used to describe:
In a world that often uses the metric system, it's helpful to know how to convert cubic feet.
This is crucial for international trade, scientific work, or just understanding product specs from other countries.
For a quick estimate, remember that a cubic foot can hold more than 28 one-liter water bottles.
