Capacity = how much something can handle. Capability = whether something can do it. ✔ "System capacity" → How much it can monitor. ✔ "System capability" → Whether it can monitor. They aren’t always interchangeable.

Great question, Angela! The words "capacity" and "capability" are often used interchangeably, but have different meanings depending on the context. 1. Capacity "Capacity" refers to the maximum amount something can contain, produce, or support. It refers to potential or limits. For example: - The elevator's maximum weight capacity is 400kg. - The factory has a production capacity of 5,000 items per week. 2. Capability "Capability" refers to the ability or skill to do something, usually in terms of competence or functionality. For example: - She has the capability to manage a team well. - The new AI system has the capability to learn by interacting with users. In short: When we think about capacity, we ask "How much?"; when we think about capability, we ask "Is it possible?" I hope this helps!
