Because they refer to the exact same measurement. A liter is usually - it gets tricky actually, because there are really several definitions of liter, but the one we usually use is defined as the volume of one kilogram of water. 1 gram is also defined as the volume of 1 cubic centimeter (cm3) of water. This means that 1 gram = 1/1000 liter or 1 milliliter (ml) or (in other words) 1 ml = 1 cm3

The liter is the name given to a volume amount equal to a cubic decimeter, which works out that there are 1000 cm³ in a liter. Since milli is 1/1000, then there are 1000 mL in a liter as well, so they are equal.

A cc (cubic centimeter, cm3) and a mL (milliliter) are equal to each other in terms of volume.

1 cubic meter = 1000 000 cubic centimeter (cc)

1 cubic meter = 1000 liters = 1000 000 milliliters (ml)

hence 1 cc = 1 ml
