Liters to cubic centimeters Conversion
1 liters (liter) is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cm³).
1 liter = 1000 cm³
or
1 cm³ = 0.001 liter
Formula
To convert a volume from liters (liter) to cubic centimeters (cm³), multiply the volume in liters by 1000
v(cm³) = v(liter) × 1000
Examples:
Convert 20 liters to cubic centimeters:
v(cm³) = 20liter × 1000 = 20000 cm³
