The size of something is how much space the thing takes.

Sizes can be measured. When a size is measured, it is given a number.[1]

[edit] Words for sizes

Small and big are opposites.

[edit] Example

A red box is 2 feet long, 3 feet wide and 1 foot deep. Therefore the box has a volume of 6 cubic feet. The size of the box is 6 cubic feet.

A blue box is 3 feet long, 3 feet wide and 1 foot deep. Therefore the blue box is 9 cubic feet. The size of the blue box is 9 cubic feet.

The blue box is larger in size than the red box.

[edit] Notes
