NO
These units are strictly for measuring liquids and gases

Depends what you're measuring.

If you're measuring mass, you can use the volume and the density of the object to obtain it's mass.

If you're measuring volume, yes, you can use Liters and the SI Prefixes to measure them. And actually, the SI doesn't have Liters as the correct way to measure volume, it's cubic centimeters, where 1 dm^3 = 1 L

EDIT: Sarkarta, you can use Liters to convert to cm's a lot of the time... it's not exclusive to gases or liquids, even though they have the IDEAL application.

Yes.... by displacement of water. Fill a jar with water. Lower some solid into the jar and measure the water that's displaced.. that overflows... that means you have to catch it somehow.

The process is helpful when you have some weird-shaped object.

And usually the displacement is converted from liquid measure to cubic measure.

Actually, it can be done with air too, but air's kind of hard to measure without special equipment to capture it and measure it.

Yes.

They are just volumes. Length cubed. You obviously wouldn't be able to pour it into a beaker and measure it but if you knew the dimensions of a block for example.

3 feet long, 4 feet wide and 2 feet tall, would have a volume of 2*3*4. or 24 cubic feet.

that's achieveable in thought, exceeded on the observations from physics that what seems to be good, is truly on the subatomic point truly over ninety 9.9% empty area crammed with tension fields. If we could ever make certain a thank you to neutralize the tension fields then it would be somewhat achieveable to bypass via any good merchandise.

liter, with whatever prefix, is a measure of VOLUME. Say an iron bar: its volume can be viewed as the volume of water it displaces, right?

So we can give it in liters, right?

Yes, if that solid is in a powder form, like sand.
