Definition:Volume

Definition
Volume is the measure of the extent of a body.

It has three dimensions and is specified in units of length cubed. Hence the term "cube" as a general vague term for a quantity in three dimensions.

Dimension
Volume is a dimension of measurement of physics.

The dimension of volume is $L^3$: length cubed.

Units

 * The SI unit of volume is the cubic metre $\mathrm m^3$.
 * The CGS unit of volume is the cubic centimetre $\mathrm {cm}^3$ or, less formally, $\mathrm {cc}$.

Thus:
 * $1 \ \mathrm m^3 = 10^6 \ \mathrm {cm}^3 = 1\,000\,000 \ \mathrm {cc}$
