They are different things.
Kilogram is a measure of mass.
Litre is a measure of volume.
What causes you ask this question is the fact that a litre of water at 0 degrees centigrade has mass of one kilogram.

Although 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram, but litre is measurement of space and kilogram is measurement of mass. So the answer is no.

It's by definition. When the cubic centimeter was picked as a unit of volume, it's volume was associated with the weight of one gram of water at 4 degrees Celsius. So if 1cc is defined as weighing( actually having a mass of) one gram, then 1000 cc (1 liter) must have a mass of 1000g (1 Kg).

Since Mass = volume x density
If density is one then
Mass= volume
Only density of water =1
Therefore 1 kg of water = 1litre

No because kilogramme is unit of weight and litre is a unit of volume. a litre of water weighs much more than a litre of polystyrene foam. A kilo of water weighs exactly the same as a kilo of polystyrene foam of course, but a kilo of polystyrene foam would take up a lot more space than a kilo of water.

No.
Weight is measured by milligrams, grams, kilograms, tonnes, etc.
Volume is measured by millilitres, litres, etc.
Therefore, 1 kg is not equal to 1 litre.

yes. 1 litre of water that is
And i presume you meant 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram which is correct

No. They're totally separate units of measurement. One measures mass and the other measures volume.

The answer is no. Mass is a measurement of matter and liter is a measurement of space.
