Unit History
About liter
The liter is a metric unit for volume commonly used for liquids and gases. It was originally defined as the volume of one kilogram of water at standard conditions, but is now fixed at exactly 1,000 cubic centimeters (0.001 cubic meters). Liters are internationally recognized and are widely used in everyday life to measure beverages, fuel, and other common fluids.
About gallon
The gallon is a traditional measure of volume still used in the United States and parts of the Commonwealth. However, the US gallon (about 3.785 liters) differs from the imperial gallon (about 4.546 liters). Gallons commonly measure larger fluid amounts, such as fuel, and remain integral in contexts like US fuel economy ratings and British beer sales.
