Cubic Centimeters (cm³)
Definition
A cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with 1 cm sides. It equals exactly 1 milliliter.
History
The cubic centimeter was established as part of the CGS system in the 19th century. The equivalence with the milliliter made it widely adopted in both scientific and medical contexts.
Current use
Cubic centimeters are used in medicine (syringe volumes, commonly noted as 'cc'), automotive engineering (engine displacement), 3D printing (material volume), and scientific laboratory measurements.
Liters (l)
Definition
A liter (L) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 milliliters, 1 cubic decimeter (1 dm³), or approximately 0.264 US gallons.
History
The liter was introduced in France in 1795 as the 'cadil', later renamed 'litre'. It was defined as the volume of one kilogram of water at maximum density. Though not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with SI.
Current use
Liters are the global standard for measuring beverages, fuel, engine displacement, aquarium capacity, and liquid product volumes. Milk, water, soft drinks, and gasoline are all commonly sold in liters.
