Milliliter (mL) Volume
DefinitionA milliliter (symbol: mL) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to approx. 1/1000 of a liter or 1 cubic centimeter (cm³).
HistoryThe milliliter was introduced as part of the metric system in 1795. It was derived from the liter, which was defined based on the volume of water. The milliliter is widely used for smaller liquid measurements.
Common usesCommonly used in medicine, cooking, and science for precise liquid measurements.
