The US gallon is equal to 231 cubic inches, which is about 3.785 liters. While the imperial gallon is used in the UK, Canada, and some Caribbean countries, it is equal to 4.54609 liters.

What is Liter (L)?

The French-invented metric system uses the liter to measure volume. The international term “liter” comes from the French word litron and means one cubic decimeter, or 1 dm3.

A liter, or L, is a volume unit that can be used with the Global System of Units (SI), but it is not actually a SI unit. You can measure one liter in decimeters, centimeters, or meters. One liter is equal to 1,000 centimeters.

Aspect Details
Definition A unit of volume used for measuring liquids and solids.
Metric System 1 liter = 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³)
Conversion - 1 liter = 1.057 quarts (US)
- 1 liter = 0.264 gallons (US)
- 1 liter = 0.879 gallons (UK)
Usage Commonly used globally for liquids and various measurements.

1 Liter = 0.001 m3 or 1000 Liters.
Liter = dm3.
0.0353 ft3 = 1 liter
61.023 cubic inches = 1 liter
