Units of Volume (Capacity)

We have already learnt that the amount or volume of liquids is measured in
millilitre (mL) and litre (L). The unit litre (L) is the standard unit of capacity.

The unit millilitre is the smaller unit of capacity. It is 1000 times smaller
than a litre.

i.e., 1 L = 1000 mL

or 1 mL = L = 0.001 L

We use different types of containers or vessels to measure the capacity
of liquids. Some of the commonly used measuring containers are shown

below.
