About Cup (cup)
A US customary unit of volume equal to 8 fluid ounces or about 237 milliliters. Cups are the dominant measurement unit in American home cooking and published US recipes — a standard measuring cup set includes 1, 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 cup scoops. Outside North America, recipes typically use grams (for solids) and milliliters (for liquids), making cup→ml conversions one of the most common kitchen conversions for international cooks working from American cookbooks.
About Quart (qt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to 2 pints, 4 cups, or 1/4 of a gallon (about 946 mL). Quarts are the common US retail size for milk, juice, motor oil, and paint cans. A quart is almost exactly equal to one liter (~5% less), which is why many international product containers labeled in liters serve the same role as US quart sizes without needing a separate SKU. The Imperial quart (UK) is larger at 1.136 liters.
