Volume and Capacity
                  There is not much difference between these two words.
                  (a) Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by an object.
                  (b) Capacity refers to the quantity that a container holds.

                  Note: If a water tin holds 100 cm of water then the capacity of the water tin is 100
                  cm .

                  Capacity is also measured in terms of litres. The relation between litre and cm is,

                  1 mL = 1 cm ,               1 L = 1000 cm .

                  1 m = 10,00,000 cm = 1000 L.
