Capacity is the amount a container can hold. We often measure capacity using units like milliliters (mL) and liters (L). Think of a small bottle of water – that's usually measured in milliliters. A big jug of juice? That's measured in liters! Understanding capacity helps us in everyday life, like when we're cooking or sharing drinks.
