A cup is a cup, basically. However, the true measure is level with the top of what is called a dry measuring cup. That is why you should overfill this type cup and then run a flat edge across the top. If you poured liquid to be even with the top it would run over so you use a "liquid" cup marked in increments and make the liquid even with the line you need. I am a retired Home Economics teacher.
