How many centi litres in 1 litre?

The minimum amount of centimetres squared required to enclose a litre is when the litre is enclosed in a sphere which has a surface area of approx 483.598 cm².

So 1 litre is contained within an object which has a surface area of at least approx 483.598 cm².

If you really meant how many centimetres SQUARED are in a litre then the question is nonsense because:

• centimetres SQUARED are a measure of area; whereas
• litre are a measure volume.

However, centimetres CUBED are a measure of volume, and 1 litre = 1000 cm³.
