Volume

It is a scalar metric quantity that is defined as the three-dimensional extension of a limited region of space. It is a magnitude that is derived from the length and is found by multiplying the length, width, and height.

Material bodies occupy a volume. The unit of measurement for volume in the International System of Units is the cubic meter.

To measure the capacity of space, the liter is used.
