One litre is equivalent to 1,000 millilitres (ml). Visually, it’s about the size of a medium-sized bottle of water or a quart of milk. In terms of volume, it's just more than 4 cups or approximately 34 fluid ounces. To put it another way, imagine a cube with each side measuring 10 centimetres (about 4 inches); that represents the volume of one litre.
