A tipping bucket rain gauge accurately measures precipitation by collecting rainwater in a small bucket that tips when a specific amount of water is reached. Each tip of the bucket is counted, providing a precise measurement of the amount of rainfall that has occurred.
The best device to use to measure the capacity of a bucket is a measuring cup. After the measurement is made, the result can be expressed in any unit of volume, although some units will result in numbers that are inconveniently large or small. Probably the most convenient numbers will be associated with liters, quarts, or gallons. And none of this depends on what's in the bucket, or on its intended use.

When I was growing up on my Grandfather's farm we had many pails and buckets laying around. Pails were containers with larger bases than top openings (an upside down bucket) for carrying water and milk. Buckets were used to carry everything else. I don't think anyone makes pails anymore, since carrying water and milk are no longer a big part of farm life. No one confused a pail and a bucket where I grew up.In regards to units of measure, a pail or bucket is not a unit of measure--pail or buckets can be had in one, two, three....gallons, liters, etc. The only difference is which end the bottom is on --the small end (bucket) or the large end (pail). Now it's settled.Jack

Assuming all three are relatively normal compared to each other (large bath, medium bucket and small bottle), then the bath will hold a good deal more fluid than either the bucket or the medicine bottle, and therefore has the largest capacity. However, if capacity is measured against the amount of fluid they already contain and they're all full, then they all have the same capacity: none at all.
My vital capacity is 1650cc (Yes, it's very low, but I'm twelve and I'm small). cc is used to measure vital capacity.

The small sand bucket in a science lab is typically used for extinguishing fires. It contains sand which can be used to smother small fires by cutting off the oxygen supply. It is a safety measure in case of emergencies involving flammable materials.
basket is large and bucket is small
Yes it does. But the difference is so small to measure. It is like removing a tiny star from the sky at night.
