This refers to the total volume displaced by the engine cylinders. The more displacement (number and size of the cylinders), the more powerful the engine.

It's the total of the swept volume, i.e. the space the piston head moves through beetween the bottom of its stroke and the top, for all cylinders in an engine. So if the swept volume of a single cylinder in a 4 cylinder engine is 500cc then the cubic capacity of the whole engine is 4x500cc =2000cc or 2 litres.

It means cylinder displacement. You take the volume (IOW, how much space there is) in the cylinders when the piston is at the top of its stroke, and subtract that from the volume in the cylinders when the piston is at the bottom. So if there's a difference of two litres, it's a two-litre engine.

In the combustion chamber where the gasoline explodes is where the 2 litres of space is. The larger this space the larger the explosion and the more powerful the engine.
The explosion pushes down a piston that turns a crankshaft to deliver power to the wheels.

Imagine it is a math question and you have to find the volume of all the cylinders in the engine thats what the 2 liters are so the more liters the more space the pistions have above them the power the engine can produce

Litres are the amount of space in the combustion chamber. I dont understand why they measure it in litres when we buy gas by the gallon.

combustible energy propel ant is injected as a fine mist filling a cylinder in order 1432 or other order .the mixture then burns not explodes at 0,003 of a second give or take 0.01+/- its the cylinder thingy by how much petrol in the yea

It means that the cylinders have a capacity of 2000 cc.

Volume of "gas" displaced by the cylinders upon combustion.

Cylinder capacity.
