Litre

Definition: A litre (symbol: L or l) is a metric unit of volume. It is defined as the volume of one cubic decimetre (dm³), which is 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm.

History/origin: The litre was introduced in France in 1795 as one of the new 'republican units of measure' and defined as one cubic decimetre. It has undergone slight revisions in its definition over time.

Current use: The litre is a widely used unit for measuring liquid volume, found in various everyday applications, from beverages and fuels to household products. It is also used extensively in scientific and industrial contexts.

Cubic kilometer

Definition: A cubic kilometer (symbol: km³) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides one kilometer in length. It is a large unit of volume.

History/origin: The cubic kilometer is derived from the kilometer, which is a multiple of the meter, the base unit of length in the SI. It's primarily used for very large volumes.

Current use: Cubic kilometers are mainly used in geographical and environmental contexts to measure volumes of water bodies, such as lakes and oceans, and to estimate the volume of large geological features or ice masses.
