What is 22 cubic metres

What is 22 cubic metres ?
Well put simply it is the same as 22,000 litres of water or 11,000 bottles of Pepsi poured out
22,000 cm 

It is also what our van can hold it has a 22 cubic metre payload

22,000 litres of water would weigh 22,000 kg that is 22 tons so if you tried to fill the van with that amount of water it would fit but would break the vans back

So hopefully this helps you understand what 22 cubic metres is
