Cc
The cubic centimeter (cc or cm^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The cubic centimeter has been used in scientific and medical contexts as a convenient measure of small volumes, especially in fields like medicine and engineering, evolving from the metric system's adoption in the 19th century.
Current Use
Today, the cubic centimeter is commonly used to measure small volumes in medicine (e.g., syringe capacities), automotive engine displacements, and scientific applications, often interchangeably with milliliters (mL).
Cubic Kilometer
A cubic kilometer (km^3) is a unit of volume representing the volume of a cube with edges of one kilometer in length.
History/Origin
The cubic kilometer has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure large volumes, especially in geology, hydrology, and environmental sciences, as a convenient unit for expressing vast quantities of water, earth, or other materials.
Current Use
Today, the cubic kilometer is primarily used in fields such as hydrology to quantify large-scale water volumes, like reservoirs and aquifers, and in geology and environmental science to measure large volumes of earth or other substances.
