Cubic Centimeter

The cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to the volume of a cube with sides that are each 1 centimeter long. One cubic centimeter is equivalent to 1/1,000th of a liter or 1 milliliter (mL). It is commonly used to measure small volumes, such as the volume of liquids, gases, or the capacity of small containers.

Origin:

The cubic centimeter is derived from the centimeter, which is a unit of length in the metric system. The centimeter itself was introduced in the 18th century as part of the metric system, based on the meter, which was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. The cubic centimeter, as the cube of the centimeter, provides a practical unit for measuring small volumes. It is widely used in fields such as medicine (for dosages), automotive engineering (for engine displacement), and chemistry. The use of cubic centimeters is also common in scientific experiments where precision in measuring small volumes is required.

Gallon (US)

The US gallon is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 231 cubic inches, which is approximately 3.785 liters or 4 quarts. The US gallon is primarily used in the United States to measure liquids such as fuel, beverages, and other fluids.

Origin:

The US gallon originated from the British gallon, which itself was derived from earlier definitions of the gallon in medieval England. The British gallon was based on the volume of eight pounds of water, but the US gallon, which was standardized in 1824, was redefined to be 231 cubic inches in volume. This definition was adopted to better align with the measurements used in the U.S. liquid measurement system. The US gallon is slightly smaller than the imperial gallon (used in the UK and other Commonwealth countries), which is defined as 4.54609 liters. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the US gallon remains widely used in the United States for measuring liquid volumes.
