It depends on what you mean by capacity:
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 "liters" to measure the capacity of a hot water tank.
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.
The two most commonly used metric units for measuring the capacity of cans of drinks are milliliter (mL) and centiliter (cL). As their names suggest, mL is a thousandth of a Liter and a cL is a hundredth of a Litre. Litre is the metric unit of measurement of volume.

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.
