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 centiliter (cl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a liter.
It's a common measurement you'll often see on beverage containers and in recipes.
The centiliter is directly related to the liter, the base unit of volume in the metric system. The prefix "centi-" means one-hundredth, which makes the conversion very simple.
There are 100 centiliters in one liter:
While scientists often use milliliters, you can find centiliters on many everyday consumer products, especially in Europe.
Common examples include:
Converting between centiliters and milliliters is easy because the metric system is based on units of 10. Since "milli" means one-thousandth, the rule is simple:
To convert centiliters to milliliters, you multiply the number of centiliters by 10.
For example, a standard 75 cl wine bottle contains 750 milliliters (ml).
75 cl × 10 = 750 ml
