60 liters is equivalent to 0.06 cubic meters.
To convert liters to cubic meters, you divide the liter value by 1000 because 1 cubic meter equals 1000 liters. Hence, 60 liters becomes 0.06 cubic meters by simple division.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert liters to cubic meters is:
Cubic meters = Liters ÷ 1000
This works because one cubic meter contains exactly 1000 liters. When you divide the number of liters by 1000, you find how many whole cubic meters it makes. For example, with 60 liters:
- Start with 60 liters
- Divide 60 by 1000
- 60 ÷ 1000 = 0.06 cubic meters
This way, the volume in liters is transformed into cubic meters.
Conversion Example
- Convert 150 liters to cubic meters:
- Take 150 liters
- Divide 150 by 1000
- 150 ÷ 1000 = 0.15 cubic meters
- Convert 500 liters to cubic meters:
- Take 500 liters
- Divide 500 by 1000
- 500 ÷ 1000 = 0.5 cubic meters
- Convert 75 liters to cubic meters:
- Take 75 liters
- Divide 75 by 1000
- 75 ÷ 1000 = 0.075 cubic meters
- Convert 900 liters to cubic meters:
- Take 900 liters
- Divide 900 by 1000
- 900 ÷ 1000 = 0.9 cubic meters
- Convert 250 liters to cubic meters:
- Take 250 liters
- Divide 250 by 1000
- 250 ÷ 1000 = 0.25 cubic meters

Conversion Definitions
Liters: A liter is a metric unit of volume that measures the amount of space an object or substance occupies. It is widely used for liquids and is equal to one cubic decimeter, or 0.001 cubic meters. Liters are common in daily life for measuring fluids like water, milk, or fuel.
Cubic: In measurement contexts, “cubic” usually refers to cubic meters, a unit of volume in the metric system. One cubic meter represents a cube with edges one meter long. It quantifies three-dimensional space and is often used in construction, shipping, and science to express volume of solids or fluids.
Conversion FAQs
Does temperature affect the conversion from liters to cubic meters?
No, the conversion between liters and cubic meters is based on fixed volume units, so temperature doesn’t change the mathematical conversion. However, the actual volume of a substance may slightly expand or contract with temperature changes, but the units themselves remain constant.
Can I convert liters to cubic centimeters using the same formula?
No, converting liters to cubic centimeters requires a different scale. One liter equals 1000 cubic centimeters. So instead dividing by 1000, you multiply liters by 1000 to find cubic centimeters. The formula here is different than for cubic meters.
Why is 1 cubic meter equal to 1000 liters?
Because a cubic meter is a cube measuring 1m on all sides, its volume is 1m × 1m × 1m = 1 cubic meter. Since 1 liter equals 1 cubic decimeter (10cm × 10cm × 10cm), and there are 1000 cubic decimeters in a cubic meter, 1 cubic meter holds 1000 liters.
Is the conversion exact or approximate?
The conversion from liters to cubic meters is exact in metric units: 1 cubic meter always equals 1000 liters. Any decimal differences come from rounding during calculations, not from the conversion itself.
How to convert liters to other cubic units like cubic feet?
To convert liters to cubic feet, you multiply the liters by 0.0353147. This is different from liters to cubic meters conversion because cubic feet use imperial units. You can’t use the same division by 1000 method for that conversion.
