Mass (~weight) is defined with reference to a particular platinum-iridium mass of 1kg held at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, in France. Several prototype copies of this exist to provide traceability of measures. This is the definition of mass.
In older history, the kilogram was defined as the mass of a cube of water, 10cm each side, and this volume was the definition of the litre. The SI system does not recognize this as a primary unit - it is a derived unit. The kilogram itself has moved on from that time, and is now the specific mass referred to above.
So:- the litre is a derived unit, not an SI standard. It is a measure of volume - not weight (~mass).
What else can I help you with?
Is the weight and volume of water butter eggs and milk the same?
The weight of eggs, water and milk are measured in ounces or cups. The volume of water, eggs, and milk is measured as a liquid. The volume of butter is measured as a solid.
How many ml into a kg?
kg is a mass, ml is a volume. However with water, 1 kg = 1 liter = 1000ml
Which is the heaviest kiloliter centiliter liter milliliter?
Kilo is a unit of weight, the others are units of volume. To get weight from a volume you need to know the density of whatever it is that you're talking about.
What is the units of the measurement used to measure volume?
cubic unit is used to measure volume. liter is also used.
What is the Sl unit for force and its symbol?
There are many units to measure the distance .Sl units can be used to describe an objects volume is cubic m.
What is the property measured of liter?

Is measure milk by volume or weight?
Milk is measured by volume. It is not measured by weight.
What is the difference between liter and kg?
A liter is a unit of volume used to measure the capacity of a container, while a kilogram is a unit of mass used to measure the weight of an object. One liter of water, for example, has a mass of about 1 kilogram.
What is a solid measured in?
Weight or Volume
How can mass and volume be measured?
by its weight

Liter is to volume as kilogram is to?
Mass. NOT weight.
What can volume mass and weight be measured by?
Volume is measured with pipettes, liquid or gas counters, burettes, cylinders, calibrated recipients etc.Mass is measured with all types of balances.For weight, in physics weight = mass x gravitational acceleration.
Is the weight and volume of water butter eggs and milk the same?

How heavy is a liter?
A liter is a unit of volume, not of weight or mass. You can convert a liter to mass units (kilograms) for a specific substance, if you know its density.
How much does a liter weigh in ounces?
It depends on what the liter contains.
What SI unit would you use to measure the volume of a cup of milk?
Volume of cup ca be measured in milliliter. It can also be measured in decimal liter.
