The same reason why a centimeter is greater than a millimeter.

milli: one-thousandth (1/1000)


centi: one-hundredth (1/100)


kilo: one thousand (1,000)


mega: one million (1,000,000)


giga: one billion (1,000,000,000)


A centipede has less legs than a millipede because for every 1 leg a centipede has, the millipede has 10! This is based on the math above^^. Now, if you compare ONE CENTILITER to ONE MILLILITER, the centiliter would be greater because:

1 centiliter = 10 milliliters

The centi- prefix means 1/100 (or 0.01)

The milli- prefix means 1/1000 (or 0.001)

1/100 > 1/1000 which means centi- > milli-

Thus 1 cl > 1 ml.

* The prefix "centi" means 1/100.* The prefix "milli" means 1/1000.

* 1/100 is more than 1/1000.

A milliliter is 1/1000 of a liter. A centiliter is 1/100 of a liter, which is equal to 10 centiliters.
