  uhh. this gets technical...
  
  it is the "sweep volume" of a piston... which means the length the piston travels in the cylinder, multiplied by the bore area (the area of the piston).. then multiplied by the number of cylinders..
  
  that gives you the engine capacity
  
  dunno how else to explain...
  
  usually, the bigger the capacity the more petrol the car can burn and the more powerful it is.. but it isn't strictly true as seen in another thread

  yah... basically it mean the higher the cc, the more powerful it is. the more petrol it consumes.
  
  but there are also certain things taken into consideration like power to weight ratio, size of vehicle, petrol/diesel engine, torque... blah blah blah....
  
  but a general rule. higher cc means more powerful, more fast, more money, more petrol.
