You use cubic units when you describe volume because a cube is measuring 1 unit on each edge and the edge has a volume of one cubic unit.

What is the standard unit for volume of a sphere?

There is no standard unit of spherical volume. One would use the same units for describing the volume of any body, i.e. cubic-feet, cubic-meters, cubic-whatever. When one measures a space or object's volume these are the units used with the "cubic" coming from measuring the three dimensions an object takes up in space; length, width and depth. All three measurements must be in the same units; 1ft x 1ft x 1ft = 1 cubic-foot. You'll need the following equation for spherical volume: V= 4/3 x pi x r3 where "r" is the radius of the sphere.


What units do you use in volume?

Volume is typically measured in liters (L) or cubic meters (m^3) for larger quantities, and milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm^3) for smaller amounts. Other common units for volume include gallons, fluid ounces, and cubic feet.

What do you use to measure volume if units are in centimeters cubed?

If units are in centimeters cubed, you would use a ruler or a measuring tape to measure the length, width, and height of an object in centimeters. You can then multiply these three dimensions together to calculate the volume in cubic centimeters.


What is the metric units for liters in order?

Liter is a specific unit; the question should be, "metric units for volume". Volume is measured in cubic meters; for larger volumes you might use square kilometers; for smaller volumes, such as those that occur in everyday situations, you would usually use cubic decimeters (= liters), cubic centimeters (= milliliters), or cubic millimeters.
