Cubic meters to liters Conversion
1 cubic meters (m³) is equal to 1000 liters (liter).
1 m³ = 1000 liter
or
1 liter = 0.001 m³
Formula
To convert a volume from cubic meters (m³) to liters (liter), multiply the volume in cubic meters by 1000
v(liter) = v(m³) × 1000
Examples:
Convert 50 cubic meters to liters:
v(liter) = 50m³ × 1000 = 50000 liter
