Officially there is no such thing as a dry cup. A cup is a liquid volumetric measurement However, a dry quart is 16.36% bigger than a liquid quart. Since there are 4 liquid cups in a liquid quart, it would appear logical that there are 4 dry cups in a dry quart. Following this logic, then a dry cup (if it existed) would be 16.36% bigger than a liquid cup.

Is cup a measure of weight?
This depends on what you are measuring. There is "Dry Cup"(a cup of a solid material) and "Liquid cup" (cup of a fluid or liquid). However, a cup (dry or liquid) is classified as a measurement of volume. 1 cup = 250 milliliters or 8.80 liquid ounces
What is the difference between a dry cup and a liquid cup?
A dry cup is used to measure dry ingredients like flour or sugar, and the measurement is meant to be leveled off. A liquid cup is used to measure liquids like water or milk, and the measurement is read at eye level for accuracy. Dry cups and liquid cups may have different volume capacities due to the differences in how ingredients settle in each type of cup.
Is there a difference between a dry cup of flower and a liquid cup of water?
Yes, there is a difference. A dry cup of flour is measured by spooning the flour into the cup and leveling it off. A liquid cup of water is measured by pouring the water into the measuring cup and checking it at eye level for accuracy. The two measurements are different due to the differing densities of flour and water.
How many liquid ounces are in 3 dry ounces?
From what I have come to understand, there is onetablespoon measure per one dry ounce. This is apparently different from liquid ounces, where twotablespoon equals one liquid ounce. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup, therefore there are 2 Tablespoons to an oz. There are 8 fluid oz to a cup.

How many cups equals one cup of vegetables?
A cup is a cup, whether it is liquid or not. ____________________ While, a cup is a cup, there are different cups, in US measure there is a liquid cup, and a dry cup, in the british imperial system a dry or liquid cup is the same BUT there is an 8 oz. cup and a 10 oz(half pint) cup. If you are converting from one cup to another these volumes are: US cup = 236.8 ml US dry cup = 275.35 ml Imperial cup (8 oz)= 227 ml (this is 1/4 of a fifth, or 1/2 pound of water) Imperial cup (10 oz or 1.25 cup) = 283.7 ml (this is 1/4 of a quart) In the metric system a cup is often approximated at 250 ml (a metric cup)
Can you use a liquid measuring cup for dry measure?
A cup is a cup, basically. However, the true measure is level with the top of what is called a dry measuring cup. That is why you should overfill this type cup and then run a flat edge across the top. If you poured liquid to be even with the top it would run over so you use a "liquid" cup marked in increments and make the liquid even with the line you need. I am a retired Home Economics teacher.
What is the difference in dry measuring cups versus wet measuring cups?
Yes there is a difference and the difference is that the line for the liquid cup is under the the top of the cup. For the dry measuring cup the line is the top of the cup. So because of the there is about a 16% difference, the liquid measuring cup being larger.

Why is it difficult to measure dry ingredients in a liquid measuring cup?
It is difficult to measure dry ingredients accurately in a liquid measuring cup because the design of the cup is optimized for measuring liquids, which do not fill the entire volume evenly. Dry ingredients tend to pile up and do not settle uniformly, leading to inaccurate measurements.
What does a liquid measure look like?
A liquid measure looks like wherever the liquid comes to, inside a measuring cup. Liquid measures are different from "dry" measures. An ounce of flour is not the same as an ounce of water. One is by weight, the other is by volume. FriPilot
