Surface area and volume are calculated for any three-dimensional geometrical shape. The surface area of any given object is the area or region occupied by the surface of the object. Whereas volume is the amount of space available in an object.

Answer: The Surface Area is a sum total of Area of the planes that form a surface/shape while Volume is the space enclosed within a figure/shape/surface.

The Surface Area is a 2-Dimensional concept with units m², cm² or mm² where as Volume is a 3-Dimensional concept with m³, cm³ or mm³ as units.
