-the ‘liter’ is a *cubic deci-meter*-
.
“LITRE”
(International spelling)
.
“LITER”
(american spelling)
(aka the RITE way to spell the fucking word)
.
or liter (American spelling)
(SI symbols L or l, commonly, but incorrectly, abbreviated as ltr)
.
is an SI accepted metric system unit of volume equal to…)
1 cubic decimetre (dm3),
1,000 cubic centimetres (cm3)
or 1/1,000 cubic metre)
.
(a cubic decimetre (or litre) occupies a volume of 10×10×10 centimetres (see figure) and is thus equal to one-thousandth of a cubic metre)
(the original French metric system used the ‘litre’ as a base unit)
(the word litre is derived from an older French unit, the litron, whose name came from Greek – where, perversely, it was a unit of weight, not volume – via Latin, and which equalled approximately 0.831 litres)
(the litre was also used in several subsequent versions of the metric system and is accepted for use with the SI, although not an official SI unit—the SI unit of volume is the cubic metre (m3))
(the spelling used by theInternational Bureau of Weights and Measures is “litre”, a spelling which is shared by almost all English-speaking countries)
(the less common spelling of “liter” is more predominantly used in ‘American English’)
.
(one litre of liquid water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram, due to the “gram” being defined in 1795 as one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice)
.
(subsequent re-definitions of the ‘meter’ + ‘(kilo-)gram’ mean that this relationship is no longer ‘exact’)
