What are Liter and Dekaliter

Definition of Liter

A liter, symbolized as 'L', is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as the volume of a cube that measures 10 centimeters on each side. This equals to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³) or 1/1,000 cubic meters (m³). The liter is commonly used for measuring liquids and some dry substances.

Definition of Dekaliter

A dekaliter, symbolized as 'daL', is a metric unit of volume that is equal to ten liters. It is not as commonly used as the liter but serves as a convenient measure for larger quantities of liquids. One dekaliter represents the volume contained in a cube with sides of 10 decimeters (or 100 centimeters) in length.
