Convert Liter to Cup (US)
Liter
The liter (L) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are each 10 centimeters long, which is equivalent to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³) or 0.001 cubic meters (m³). One liter is also equivalent to 1,000 milliliters (mL).
The liter was originally introduced in France in the 18th century as part of the metric system during the French Revolution. It was based on the volume of 1 kilogram of water at the temperature of its maximum density, which is about 4°C. Over time, the liter became a standard unit for measuring liquids and volumes in many countries around the world. Although the liter is not an SI base unit (the SI unit of volume is the cubic meter), it is accepted for use with the SI, and it remains widely used internationally for measuring everyday volumes, such as beverages, fuel, and cooking ingredients.
Cup (US)
The US cup is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is equal to 1/16th of a US gallon, or 1/4th of a US quart, which is equivalent to 8 fluid ounces or approximately 0.236588 liters. It is commonly used in cooking and nutrition, particularly in recipes and food packaging.
The US cup has its origins in the British system, where cups were used as a standard measurement for liquids. However, the US cup, as it is known today, was standardized in the 19th century to be 1/16th of a US gallon or 8 fluid ounces. This standard was established to provide a consistent measurement for both liquid and dry ingredients, especially in cooking and food preparation. Despite the global adoption of the metric system, the US cup continues to be widely used in the United States for recipes, food labeling, and nutritional information.
