Conversion table

Cubic meters (m³) Liters (L)
0.001 m³1 L
0.01 m³10 L
0.1 m³100 L
1 m³1000 L
2 m³2000 L
5 m³5000 L
10 m³10000 L

Formula

m³ → L

\( \text{liters} = \text{cubic meters} \times 1000 \)

L → m³

\( \text{cubic meters} = \text{liters} \div 1000 \)

Why 1 m³ = 1000 L?

1 liter is defined as 1 cubic decimeter (1 dm³). A cubic meter contains 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000 cubic decimeters, so 1 m³ = 1000 dm³ = 1000 L.

Example

If you have a water tank of 2.3 m³:

\( 2.3 \times 1000 = 2300 \) L, so the tank holds 2300 liters.
