It's actually not possible to convert grams to litres without knowing what exact substance you are converting, since different substances have different densities.

If it's just water you're converting, one litre of water is 1000 grams (or one kilogram). However, if you're converting whole milk, typically it will have 4% milkfats and 96% liquids, meaning it does not convert in a 1:1 ratio in the same way that water does. (You get slightly more grams per litre for milk).

This problem gets worse the thicker the substance you wish to convert, meaning that you need to know the "specific density" of the substance before you can convert it from a liquid measurement to a weight measurement, or vice versa.

The mass of one liter of water is approximately 1000 grams, as the density of water is 1 g/cm^3. However, for other substances, you would need to know the density to convert from volume to mass.
