how large is a liter
One liter is about 4 cups of water for example which means that 1 cup of water is about 1/4 liters, 1 cup being approximately 250 mL (milliliters) One liter is a bit more than 3 cans of regular sized pop. A large bottle (not extra large) of ketchup is also about 1 litre in volume. Two pints of beer is about one liter as well. One liter of water by the way weighs exactly one kilogram (roughly 2 pounds)
A litre (liter in the United States) is one of the metric units of volume. It is not an SI unit. One litre is the volume of one cubic decimetre, that is a cube of 10 x 10 x 10 centimetres. One litre of water has the mass of exactly one kilogram. This results from the definition given in 1795, where the gram was defined as the weight of one cubic centimetre of melting ice.
