What's the Difference Between 'Liter' and 'Litre'?
In this blog post we look at when to use liter and when to use litre.
'Liter' or 'Litre'?
The words "liter" and "litre" are both units of measurement for volume, but they are used in different parts of the world.
"Liter" is the standard unit of measurement for volume in the United States and a few other countries, while "litre" is the standard unit of measurement for volume in the metric system, which is used in most countries around the world.
They both have the same exact volume measurement, but are spelled differently.
For example, a liter of water weighs 1 kilogram, and a litre of water weighs the same.
It is important to note that when using metric measurements, the abbreviation for both words is either "L" (uppercase) or "l" (lowercase).
When converting between the two units, 1 liter is equal to 1.057 quarts, 0.264 gallons, and 1.0567 liters.
In summary, "liter" and "litre" are both units of measurement for volume, but "liter" is used in the United States and a few other countries, while "litre" is used in the metric system, which is used in most countries around the world.
They both represent the same measurement, that of 1 kilogram of water, and are abbreviated in the same way as either "L" or "l".
