Cubic centimetre

For people who check facts
A cubic centimetre (cm³) is an SI derived unit of volume, equal to the volume of a cube with side length of 1 centimetre.

In SI units:

1 cm³ = 10−6cubic metres

In non-SI units:

1 cm³ = one thousandth of a litre, or 1 millilitre (mL).

The abbreviation cc, although not part of SI, is common in many contexts in English, particularly in medicine and for denoting the engine displacement of internal combustion engines in automobiles and motorcycles (e.g. "300 cc of crystalloid is required to compensate for each 100 cc of blood loss", "the Mini Cooper had a 1275 cc engine", "the 750 cc Superbike race").

Sometimes also abbreviated as ccm in European countries.
