A cup is a cup, whether it is liquid or not.

____________________

While, a cup is a cup, there are different cups, in US measure there is a liquid cup, and a dry cup, in the british imperial system a dry or liquid cup is the same BUT there is an 8 oz. cup and a 10 oz(half pint) cup. If you are converting from one cup to another these volumes are:

US cup = 236.8 ml

US dry cup = 275.35 ml

Imperial cup (8 oz)= 227 ml (this is 1/4 of a fifth, or 1/2 pound of water)

Imperial cup (10 oz or 1.25 cup) = 283.7 ml (this is 1/4 of a quart)

In the metric system a cup is often approximated at 250 ml (a metric cup)
