What is "volume"?

Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by a substance or object. It can also refer to the capacity or internal space within an object. Volume is typically measured in units such as liters or cubic meters and is calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height of an object or by using specific formulas for irregular shapes. In the context of liquids or gases, volume is often expressed as the amount of fluid that can be contained within a given container. Volume is a fundamental concept in physics, chemistry, engineering, and other scientific disciplines, and it plays a crucial role in various applications, including the design of containers and the measurement of quantities in everyday life.

What is "landing"?

Landing, in general, refers to the process of bringing a moving object, such as a plane, spacecraft, or even a parachutist, safely to the ground. For aircraft, it involves a controlled descent, where the pilot adjusts speed, altitude, and the angle of the plane to touch down smoothly on the ground or a runway. It requires careful coordination of equipment like landing gear, flaps, and braking systems to prevent damage and ensure the safety of the landing. Once the object reaches the ground, it slows down or comes to a stop.
