Volume is a characteristic of three-dimensional space which occupies by or contains various substances (solid, liquid, gaseous or plasma). In the SI system of units, the cubic meter is more commonly used unit of volume. Capacity is an ability to accommodate liquid substance, very similar to volume. However, volume and capacity may have differences in some instances: first, capacity is used to measure the capacity of containers (contents is measured in liters or in its derived units), and volume is used to measure how much space an object displaces (in cubic meters or in its derived units); secondly, volume and capacity have different bandwidth.
