How many milliliters are in a liter?

Whenever the word 'millimeter' or 'liter' is mentioned, one would think it as a measure of volume, and so it is.
A milliliter is the one-thousandth of a liter.

1mL = ¹/1000 L
Around 20 drops of water make a milliliter.
A milliliter is equal to ¹/5 of a teaspoon.
Milliliters can be shortened as mL (i.e., 200mL = 200 Milliliters). The 'L' means 'Liter'. 'L' is written in a capital letter form to avoid its similarity with '1.'

Aware of the existence of a measuring cup?

It is cup-shaped, and it measures volume using mL as the unit of the volume measured.
1 Milliliter is equivalent to 1 cubic centimeter (1 cc or 1 cm³) while a liter is the combination of milliliters mixed together.

A thousand milliliter is equivalent to a liter.
Mathematically expressed, 1 L = 1000 mL
1mL = ¹/1000 L
A Liter is shortened as 'L'; 5L means 5 Liters.
'L' is preferred because 'l' is similar to '1' and might confuse one. Imagine 5L mistaken as 51.

Most soft drinks, juice or milk are sold in liters.

After knowing what Liter and Milliliter mean, let’s check out these similar units of volume measurement.

•    Cubic Millimeter
A cubic millimeter is a cube that each of its side measures up to 1 millimeter.
1000 cubic millimeters make up a milliliter.
So, 1000 cubic millimeters is one-millionth of a liter, and one-billionth of a cubic meter.
1000cm = ¹/1000000L
1000cm = ¹/1000000000m³
•    Cubic centimeter
A cubic centimeter (cc or cm³) is a cube that each of its sides measure up to 1 centimeter.

It is equal to 1 milliliter (1mL)
1cm³ = ¹/1000L or ¹/1000000 cubic meter.
•    Deciliter (DL)
1DL = ¹/10 L or 100mL
•    Cubic meter (m³) is a cube that each of its sides is 1 meter.
1m³ = 1000L
•    Megaliters (ML)

This is the millionth product of a liter.

Megaliters are employed in dams and lakes because of its large capacity.
1ML = 1000m³ = 1000000L
•    Cubic Kilometer (km³)
This is a cube that each of its sides measure up to 1km.
It's equivalent to 1,000,000,000 m³ (1 billion cubic meters) or 1 trillion liter.
For this larger capacity, it has become a desideratum to great lakes, oceans, and seas.

The present largest lake worldwide, Lake Baikal, is measured in cubic kilometer (km³) - 23,600km³ of water.

The known and large ocean, Pacific Ocean, is also measured in cubic kilometer (km³) - 700,000,000 km of water (700 million cubic kilometers).
In Summary
•    A letter should be written as 'L' and not 'l' to distinguish it from '1.'
•    1 Liter = 1000 Milliliter = 1,000,000 Millimeter.
•    1 Liter = 1000 cubic centimeter = ¹/100 cubic meter = ¹/100000 Megaliter.
