The liter (also written "litre"; SI symbol L or l) is a non-SI metric system unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimeter (dm3), 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm3) or 1/1,000 cubic meter. The mass of one liter liquid water is almost exactly one kilogram. A liter is defined as a special name for a cubic decimeter or 10 centimeters × 10 centimeters × 10 centimeters, thus, 1 L ≡ 1 dm3 ≡ 1000 cm3.
The cup is an English unit of volume, most commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes. It is traditionally equal to half a liquid pint in either US customary units or the British imperial system but is now separately defined in terms of the metric system at values between 1⁄5 and 1⁄4 of a liter. Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups are usually used instead. In the United States, the customary cup is half of a liquid pint or 8 U.S. customary fluid ounces. One customary cup is equal to 236.5882365 millilitres.
