Why is Bag Capacity Measured in Liters?
1. Liters are a Unit of Volume Measurement
Liters measure **volume**, which indicates how much space is available inside the bag. Just like water is measured in liters, the empty space inside a bag is also measured in liters.
2. One Liter = 1,000 Cubic Centimeters (cc)
If we measure the space inside a bag as a cube, **1 liter equals 1,000 cc (cubic centimeters)** of volume.
3. Easy Size Comparison
Measuring bags in liters makes it easier to compare different sizes. For example:
- A **20-liter** bag is small and suitable for school or daily use.
- A **60-liter** bag is large, ideal for trekking or long travel.
4. How is Bag Capacity Measured?
To measure a bag’s capacity, it is completely filled, and its volume is calculated. This includes the **main compartments and pockets**.
5. Difference Between Weight and Capacity
Remember, **liters indicate bag capacity**, not its weight. The weight of a bag with the same capacity can vary based on the items stored inside.
