I did some research and found that a liter is a measure of LIQUID volume, whereas a cubic centimeter is a measure of volume in general.
Therefore, I guess, since water expands and contracts with temperature, it is reasonable to say that 1 ml of water will probably NOT be 1 cc at other than room temperature?
Did I answer my own question?
A liter is a constant unit, always equal to a cubic deciliter (1000 cubic centimeters) no matter the temperature.
At different temperatures, the amount of volume a given amount of water takes up will change, but not the unit used to measure it.
