Base Unit:
* Liter (L): The standard unit of volume in the metric system.
Sub-units:
* Milliliter (mL): One thousandth of a liter (1 L = 1000 mL)
* Centiliter (cL): One hundredth of a liter (1 L = 100 cL)
* Deciliter (dL): One tenth of a liter (1 L = 10 dL)
Larger Units:
* Kiloliter (kL): One thousand liters (1 kL = 1000 L)
* Megaliter (ML): One million liters (1 ML = 1,000,000 L)
Important Note: In the metric system, volume is often measured using cubic measurements, such as cubic centimeters (cm³) or cubic meters (m³).
* Cubic Centimeter (cm³): Equal to one milliliter (1 cm³ = 1 mL). This is a common unit for measuring smaller volumes.
* Cubic Meter (m³): Equal to one thousand liters (1 m³ = 1000 L). This is a common unit for measuring larger volumes, such as the capacity of a swimming pool or a tank.
