Cubic Centimeters to Cups

Cubic Centimeter

A cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc) is a small metric unit of volume equal to the space inside a cube measuring one centimeter on each side. One cubic centimeter is the same as one milliliter (1 cm³ = 1 mL), which makes it useful for precise measurements in science, medicine, and product specifications.

You’ll see cubic centimeters used to describe engine sizes, medical dosages, small liquid containers, and laboratory measurements. When converting to other metric units — like milliliters or liters — the relationship is simple, but switching to US units such as teaspoons or fluid ounces is easier with an online converter.

Cup

A cup (c) is a popular unit of volume used mainly in the United States for cooking, beverages, and everyday household measurements. One US cup equals 8 fluid ounces or 16 tablespoons, making it a convenient size for recipes and serving portions. Because measuring cups are easy to find in most kitchens, the cup has become a standard reference in baking and cooking instructions.

Converting cups to metric units — such as milliliters or liters — can be tricky because recipes around the world use different standards. An online converter makes it simple to switch between systems and follow international cooking guides accurately.
