Convert cubic meters to cubic centimeters and vice versa

Cubic Centimeter (cm³) and Cubic Meter (m³)

Cubic meter (m³) and cubic centimeter (cm³) are units of volume in the metric system. They are used to measure the amount of space that an object or substance occupies. These measurements are often used in physics and engineering, as well as in everyday situations, such as measuring liquids, the size of a room, or the capacity of a container.

Cubic meter

A cubic meter is the SI unit for volume. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of 1 meter. It is often used to measure large quantities or dimensions, such as the size of a building or the capacity of a large container.

Cubic centimeter

A cubic centimeter, on the other hand, is much smaller. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides of 1 centimeter. It is often used for smaller quantities, such as the content of a small box or the amount of liquid in a small container.

Conversion factor

There is a fixed conversion ratio between these two units. There are exactly 1,000,000 (1e+6) cubic centimeters in a cubic meter. This is because a meter is 100 times longer than a centimeter, and because volume is a three-dimensional measurement, we cube this difference (100 * 100 * 100 = 1,000,000).

So if you have a volume in cubic meters and you want to convert it to cubic centimeters, you would multiply the number of cubic meters by 1,000,000.

1 cubic meter = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters

Conversely, if you have a volume in cubic centimeters and you want to convert it to cubic meters, you would divide the number of cubic centimeters by 1,000,000.

1 cubic centimeter = 0.000001 cubic meters
