📚 What are Milliliters?
A milliliter (mL) is a very small unit of volume. Think of it like this: if you have a tiny eyedropper, it might hold about one milliliter of liquid. It's a part of a liter!
📚 What are Liters?
A liter (L) is a larger unit of volume. A typical water bottle you might take to school holds about one liter of water. So, a liter is made up of many, many milliliters!
