Here's what it means:
* Cubic Centimeter (cc): A unit of volume, equal to one thousandth of a liter.
* Displacement: The volume of space the engine's pistons move through as they travel from their top dead center (TDC) to their bottom dead center (BDC).
In simpler terms, a 150 cc engine has a total volume of 150 cubic centimeters that is displaced by its pistons during each cycle.
Why is it important?
* Power: Generally, a larger displacement engine (higher cc) produces more power.
* Torque: Torque is the twisting force that an engine produces. Larger engines often have more torque.
* Fuel Consumption: Larger engines tend to consume more fuel than smaller engines.
* Applications: Engine size is a key factor in determining the type of vehicle or machine it's suitable for. Smaller cc engines are found in motorcycles, scooters, and small lawnmowers, while larger cc engines power cars, trucks, and boats.
Important Note: Displacement is not the only factor that determines power or performance. Other factors like the engine design, fuel efficiency, and overall vehicle weight also play a crucial role.
