What are liters and milliliters?
A liter is the metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters, about 1.06 US quarts. A milliliter is one-thousandth of a liter, equal to one cubic centimeter. For scale: a standard water bottle holds about 500 mL (17 fl oz), and a US gallon is 3.785 L.
How to convert liters to milliliters
1 L = 1,000 mL. To convert, multiply the number of liters by 1,000. For example, 5 L = 5,000 mL, and 20 L = 20,000 mL. To go the other way, multiply milliliters by 0.001 (since 1 mL = 0.001 L).
