A milliliter (mL) is a unit of volume in the metric system.
It's equal to one-thousandth of a liter (0.001 L). The plural form is milliliters.
A milliliter is the same as one cubic centimeter (1 mL = 1 cm3).
This direct relationship makes converting between liquid volume and cubic measurements incredibly simple.
This is why vehicle engine sizes are often listed in both cubic centimeters (cc) and liters.
For example, a 1500 cc engine is the same as a 1.5-liter engine.
For most practical purposes, one milliliter of water at its densest has a mass of about one gram.
This simple one-to-one relationship makes the metric system very logical for science and cooking, where water is a common ingredient.
Although the official definition of the gram has been updated, this easy approximation remains widely used in many fields.
The milliliter (mL) is a key unit for measuring small amounts of liquid in many different fields.
You can find it everywhere, from kitchens to laboratories.
A gigaliter (GL) is a unit of volume in the metric system equal to one billion liters (109 L).
It can be challenging to visualize just how large a single gigaliter (GL) really is.
To put its immense scale into perspective, one gigaliter is the same as:
This massive scale is why the gigaliter is used for measuring things like a city's water supply or the capacity of a reservoir.
The gigaliter is a standard unit for measuring large-scale water resources and consumption.
You'll often see it used when discussing:
For example, Sydney Harbour contains roughly 500 gigaliters of water.
Measuring volumes in gigaliters is vital for professionals in:
The gigaliter fits neatly within the International System of Units (SI). The prefix "giga" means a factor of one billion.
This makes the conversions straightforward:
It is also equivalent to one million cubic meters (1,000,000 m3) and one-thousandth of a cubic kilometer (0.001 km3).
This makes it a perfect unit for measuring volumes that are too large for liters but smaller than a whole cubic kilometer.
