They are exactly the same.
======================
QUESTION Is the liter the same as a cubic decimeter?
There are 1000 liters in a cubic meter, so the seven-digit number is in liters.
The liter has exactly the same volume as a cubic decimeter:
1 L = 1 dm3
and the milliliter is therefore the same as a cubic centimeter:
1 mL = 1 cm3
==================================
However, the liter once was defined differently.
The liter was originally defined in 1795 as a volume equal to a cubic decimeter, just as it is now. But in 1901, the liter was redefined to be the volume occupied by a mass of 1 kilogram of pure water, at its maximum density and at standard atmospheric pressure. Under that definition, the liter differed in volume from a cubic decimeter by about 28 parts in 106. In 1964 the original definition was restored, so liter is again a special name for the cubic decimeter.
