That is how a litre was redefined in 1964.
Previously, a litre was defined as the volume of 1 kilogram of pure water at 4 deg C (when it has maximum density) and a pressure of 760 mm of Mercury (one atmosphere). However, it was later discovered that the standard mass was incorrect and the litre so defined was actually 1.000028 dm3.
It was also known then that the mass-to-volume ratio of water depended not just on purity, temperature and pressure but also isotopic mixture. The link with mass was broken and the litre defined purely in terms of lengths.

1 liter is 1 cubic decimeter. 1 decimeter is 10 centimeters. 1 cubic decimeter is 10 centimeter times 10 centimeter times 10 centimeter. That is 1000 cubic centimeter.
A liter is defined as a cubic decimeter. A milliliter, of course, is 1/1000 of a liter, or 1/1000 of a cubic decimeter.
1 liter is 1 cubic decimeter (and 1 liter of water at 4°C weights exactly 1 kilogram) 1 decimeter is 10 centimeters 10cm x 10cm x 10cm = 1000 cubic centimeters there is 1000 milliliters in one liter. so the answer is YES, 1 cubic centimeter IS exactly 1 milliliter.
a liter ? A liter is equal to 1000 cc and is close to a quart.
100 liters is equal to 100,000 milliliters. This conversion is based on the fact that 1 liter is equal to 1,000 milliliters. Liters and milliliters are both units of volume in the metric system, with liters being the larger unit. Therefore, to convert liters to milliliters, you multiply the number of liters by 1,000.
