Enter the volume in cubic centimeters below to get the value converted to liters.
How to Convert Cubic Centimeters to Liters
To convert a cubic centimeter measurement to a liter measurement, divide the volume by the conversion ratio.
Since one liter is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The volume in liters is equal to the cubic centimeters divided by 1,000.
Cubic centimeters and liters are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Cubic Centimeters
The cubic centimeter is a unit that is equal to the volume of a cube with one centimeter sides. One cubic centimeter is equal to about 0.061 cubic inches.[1]
The cubic centimeter, or cubic centimetre, is a multiple of the cubic meter, which is the SI derived unit for volume. In the metric system, "centi" is the prefix for 10-2. Cubic centimeters can be abbreviated as cm³, and are also sometimes abbreviated as cu cm, cc, or ccm. For example, 1 cubic centimeter can be written as 1 cm³, 1 cu cm, 1 cc, or 1 ccm.
Liters
A liter is a unit of volume equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters.[2] The liter is a special name defined for the cubic decimeter and is exactly equal to the volume of one cubic decimeter.
The liter is an SI accepted unit for volume for use with the metric system. A liter is sometimes also referred to as a litre. Liters can be abbreviated as l, and are also sometimes abbreviated as L or ℓ. For example, 1 liter can be written as 1 l, 1 L, or 1 ℓ.
