The amount of water in the ocean would probably be measured in millions of cubic kilometres.
The amount of a chemical substance it can dissolve might be in tons or kilotons - though the amount that can be absorbed safely will be very much smaller - possible only kilograms.

You would use the metric unit of grams to measure the mass of a dime. This would give you an accurate measurement of its weight.
You would use milliliters (mL) to measure the capacity of a paper cup.
Milliliters or fluid ounces would be reasonable metric units to measure the capacity of a drinking glass. These units are commonly used for measuring liquid volumes and would provide a clear indication of the glass's capacity.
An appropriate metric unit to measure the capacity of a tea cup is milliliters (mL) or centiliters (cL).

Liters would be easiest to use.
You would use millimeters for the measure of the capacity of a paper cup.

Probably none because a stream does not have a capacity but a rate of flow.

To measure pop cans in Canada, we use mililitres (ml)
it depends on how big the raindrops are, but I would use millilitres. 👍
I assume you mean volume rather than capacity. The milliliter would be the best answer. It is 1 thousandth of a liter.
Milliliters is the metric unit to use for the capacity of a thimble.

A litre. Unless you wanted to be particularly precise, in which case millilitre.
