A volume of space always contains three variables, the length, height and depth. Liquids and gases are measured by the space they take up. As there are three dimensions required to produce a volume measurement, only a cubic centimeter can be used to measure a liquid. In the metric system, one liter describes a volume of space equal to 1000 cubic centimeters
