Cubic Centimeters (cm³)

Definition

A cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with 1 cm sides. It equals exactly 1 milliliter.

History

The cubic centimeter was established as part of the CGS system in the 19th century. The equivalence with the milliliter made it widely adopted in both scientific and medical contexts.

Current use

Cubic centimeters are used in medicine (syringe volumes, commonly noted as 'cc'), automotive engineering (engine displacement), 3D printing (material volume), and scientific laboratory measurements.

Cups

Definition

A US cup is a unit of volume equal to 8 US fluid ounces, approximately 236.588 milliliters, or 1/16 of a US gallon.

History

The cup as a cooking measurement evolved from traditional household measures. The US standard cup (236.588 mL) was formalized in the 20th century to standardize recipe measurements across the country.

Current use

Cups are the primary volume unit in American and Canadian cooking and baking recipes. Measuring cups are standard kitchen tools, and nutritional labels in the US frequently reference cup-based serving sizes.
