Cubic Centimeter

Definition: A cubic centimeter (symbol: cm³) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is the volume of a cube with sides that are 1 centimeter in length. One cubic centimeter is equal to one milliliter (ml).

History/origin: The cubic centimeter is derived from the centimeter, which is a unit of length in the metric system. The metric system originated in France in the late 18th century.

Current use: Cubic centimeters are widely used for measuring volumes of liquids and solids in chemistry, biology, and engineering. They are also commonly used in cooking and everyday measurements.

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.
