Conversion table
| Cubic meters (m³) | Liters (L) |
|---|---|
| 0.001 m³ | 1 L |
| 0.01 m³ | 10 L |
| 0.1 m³ | 100 L |
| 1 m³ | 1000 L |
| 2 m³ | 2000 L |
| 5 m³ | 5000 L |
| 10 m³ | 10000 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.
