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 teaspoon (tsp) is a unit of volume, but its exact measurement varies by system.
In both systems, it is standard that three teaspoons equal one tablespoon.
For consistency in nutritional labeling, recipes, and medicine, a teaspoon is legally defined in the United States as exactly 5 milliliters (mL).
While the precise scientific conversion is 4.92892 mL, the simpler 5 mL standard is widely adopted for its convenience.
No, they are not. It's crucial to distinguish between a measuring teaspoon and a cutlery teaspoon (the one you eat with). For accurate kitchen conversions, only a measuring spoon will do.
For accuracy in all your baking measurements, always use a proper set of measuring spoons.
The conversion from teaspoons to tablespoons is a simple and memorable 3-to-1 ratio.
There are precisely three teaspoons in 1 tablespoon.
This fundamental relationship (3 tsp = 1 tbsp) is a cornerstone of any recipe measurement, consistent across both US customary and imperial systems.
