Examples
-
1,000 cubic centimeters equals approximately 0.0045454545454545 cor (Biblical)
-
10,000 cubic centimeters equals approximately 0.045454545454545 cor (Biblical)
Common Use Cases
-
Translating medical dosing or laboratory measurements into ancient volume units
-
Interpreting quantities of grain, oil, or other goods in biblical texts
-
Conducting archaeological and historical reconstruction of storage capacities
-
Performing comparative studies of measurement systems across time
-
Supporting academic research in theology and ancient history
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure volume values are accurately entered in cubic centimeters for correct results
-
Remember that the cor is an approximate unit and can vary by interpretation
-
Use conversions primarily for educational, historical, or archaeological purposes
-
Be aware of differences between dry and liquid volumes when comparing units
-
Consult additional scholarly sources when precise ancient volume understanding is needed
Limitations
-
The cor unit represents an approximate historical measure and can differ by scholarly views
-
Conversion does not account for variations between dry and liquid volume measurements
-
Ancient measurement standards are uncertain, so exact equivalencies vary
-
This conversion is not suited for modern practical volume measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cubic centimeter (cm³)?
-
A cubic centimeter is a volume unit defined by a cube with sides of one centimeter. It is commonly used to measure small volumes and is equal to one milliliter.
-
What does the cor (Biblical) measure?
-
The cor, also known as 'homer', is an ancient Biblical Hebrew unit used to measure dry volume, particularly grain or oil, and is roughly equivalent to about 220 liters.
-
Why convert cubic centimeters to cor?
-
Converting allows translating modern small-volume measurements into ancient Biblical units, aiding interpretation of historical quantities in religious and archaeological contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic Centimeter (cm³)
-
A volume unit equal to the space occupied by a cube with edges of one centimeter, often used for small liquid volume measurements.
-
Cor (Biblical)
-
An ancient Hebrew unit of dry volume roughly equal to 10 ephahs or about 220 liters, used in biblical and historical contexts.
-
Dry Volume
-
A measurement of volume for substances that are solid or granular rather than liquid.
