dl is short for deciliter. One deciliter is one tenth of a liter. If one liter consists of a thousand milliliters (ml), that means one deciliter must be a hundred milliliters. â¦ Your measuring jug will probably have ml markings. If not, one deciliter is about 0.4 cups. Example: 500 ml = 5 dl = 0,5 L Using dl for cooking is common in Europe. If you in any rare occasions stumble upon cl, centiliters, this means one hundredth of a liter. The rest of the world will probably use liters and milliliters.
Now for the record. The world's longest flight of a chicken that has been recorded is 13 seconds. The world's longest distance flight of a chicken that has be recorded is 301 1/2 feet. Colonel Sanders would have been proud.
Based on fossils discovered in 1983 during excavations for a new airport terminal, scientists have modeled the flight of the largest flying bird ever reported. Named Pelagornis sandersi, the extinct bird had a 6.4-meter wingspan -- double that of todayâs largest fliers. A birdâs flight ability depends on a balance between its body size and the lift forces generated by its wings. Researchers previously thought that wingspans wider than 5 meters made it impossible for flight.
