Cubic Centimeters to Liters

Cubic Centimeter

A cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is a small metric unit of volume equal to the space inside a cube measuring one centimeter on each side. One cubic centimeter is the same as one milliliter (1 cm³ = 1 mL), which makes it useful for precise measurements in science, medicine, and product specifications.

You’ll see cubic centimeters used to describe engine sizes, medical dosages, small liquid containers, and laboratory measurements. When converting to other metric units — like milliliters or liters — the relationship is simple, but switching to US units such as teaspoons or fluid ounces is easier with an online converter.

Liter

A liter (L) is a common unit of volume in the metric system. It represents the amount of space that one cubic decimeter occupies, making it perfect for measuring liquids and everyday containers. You’ll see liters used for beverages, fuel, cleaning products, and anything that pours — from water bottles to milk cartons.

Because liters are part of the metric system, they convert cleanly with milliliters (1 L = 1000 mL) and cubic meters (1 m³ = 1000 L). When switching between metric and US or UK units — like gallons, cups, or fluid ounces — a conversion tool provides quick and accurate results, especially in cooking or travel.
