A litre of pure water weighs 1kg at sea level. A litre is 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. Water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. Volume, distance, temperature as wonderful easy to remember units.
Sincerely,
metric system and friends.
- ascar 7y agoI like the metric system and would love to see the US switch to the metric system, but this comment is just wrong on so many levels. One litre of water only approximately weighs 1kg and density is relative to temperature and pressure. Further, the "standard pressure" density is measured in isn't equivalent to average sea level pressure. Celsius is as much a SI derived unit as Fahrenheit is. The official unit is Kelvin and water freezes at 273.15K. Not such a beautiful number, but still based on the scientifically more significant definition of temperature.
