Litre (l)
A liter (symbol: l or L) is an accepted non-SI metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter, or 0.001 cubic meters. Originally created in 1795 by the French National Convention as a fundamental unit of liquid measure, it was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at its maximum density. In 1964, the CGPM redefined the liter to be exactly equal to 1 cubic decimeter to ensure absolute mathematical alignment with SI base units of length.
