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).
Petaliter
A petaliter (PL) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one quadrillion liters, used primarily in scientific contexts for expressing extremely large volumes.
History/Origin
The petaliter was introduced as part of the extended metric system to facilitate measurements in fields such as astronomy and large-scale environmental studies, gaining recognition in the early 21st century.
Current Use
Currently, the petaliter is used mainly in scientific research, particularly in astrophysics and climate science, to quantify vast volumes such as cosmic gas clouds or global water reserves.
