How to convert liters to cubic meters
To convert liters (L) to cubic meters (m³), multiply the value in liters by 0.001.
m³ = L × 0.001
Example: 10 L = 0.01 m³.
You can also type 10 L to m³ into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 L + 1 m³.

About the units
Liter (L)
One cubic decimeter, or 1,000 milliliters.
Cubic meter (m³)
The SI unit of volume, equal to 1,000 liters.
Volume is the space a substance occupies. The SI unit is the cubic meter, but the liter (one cubic decimeter) is used far more often. US and imperial units share names but not sizes: a US gallon is 3.785 liters while an imperial gallon is 4.546 liters.
