The standard unit of volume in the metric system is liter or litre. By using decimal prefixes we can arrive at smaller or larger units of measure. It is no coincidence that there is a relationship between liter as volume, meter as distance and water:

1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter = 1 kilogram of water at 4° C.
