Cubic Centimeter
A cubic centimeter is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with edges one centimeter long. It is equal to one milliliter and is commonly used in medicine (often abbreviated as 'cc') and in measuring engine displacement.
History
The cubic centimeter has been used since the adoption of the metric system. In medical contexts, it is often written as 'cc' (from cubic centimeter). Engine displacement in motorcycles and some cars is commonly expressed in cc (e.g., a 600cc engine).
