== Part Three: Volume ==
Volume is a measurement of how much space an item takes up. This measure is often not displayed in-game. Bulk bins are the one exception.
== Notes ==
* Liquids happen to be 1kg to 1L (weight to volume), and because of this, are often referenced in liters (L). Many sold items have different kg to L relationships. Examples:
** A small bucket can hold 12 L. A full bucket of water containers 12 L of water weighting 12 kg.
** A pottery bowl can hold 9 L and weights 0.50 kg. A filet of fish is 0.20 L and weights 0.30 kg. Thus, a pottery bowl can hold 45 filets (9 / 0.2 = 45) and will weight 14 kg (13.50 kg filet, 0.50 kg bowl).
* Volume puts limits on how much can fit in a container. All containers themselves consume slightly more volume then they hold. Hypothetically players can carry infinite volume and containers can hold infinite weight.
* You can calculate how many of an item will fit in a container by dividing the container's volume by the stored item's volume. See the [[Container]] page for a list of containers and volume capacities.

One of the first things we notice when observing the world of Wurm Online is the rapid succession of day and night: a full day-night cycle only lasts 3 hours of our real-world time. Thus, we conclude that the planet Wurm rotates rapidly around its axis: 8 times faster than our Earth. (At this point, we will not discuss the physical implications of this observation, nor will we speculate on the possible reasons for the rapid planetary rotation. This will probably be done in one of the following parts of this series.)
