Capacity tells us
A bigger container has more capacity than a smaller how much liquid a
container. container can hold.

Observe the following containers. Both are filled with
water.

Here, the bucket is bigger than the mug.

So, the bucket can hold more water than a mug.

So, the bucket has more capacity than a mug.

The capacity of a cup is less The capacity of a jug is The capacity of a jug is less
than that of a glass. more than that of a glass. than that of a bucket.
