1. **State the problem:** We need to find the volume of a sphere with diameter 6 units.
2. **Formula for the volume of a sphere:**
$$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$$
where $r$ is the radius of the sphere.
3. **Find the radius:**
Since the diameter $d = 6$, the radius is half of the diameter:
$$r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3$$
4. **Substitute the radius into the volume formula:**
$$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi (3)^3$$
5. **Calculate the cube of the radius:**
$$3^3 = 27$$
6. **Calculate the volume:**
$$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi \times 27$$
7. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$V = \cancel{\frac{4}{3}} \pi \times \cancel{27} \times 9 = 36 \pi$$
8. **Final answer:**
The exact volume is:
$$\boxed{36 \pi \text{ units}^3}$$
If you want a decimal approximation using $\pi \approx 3.14$:
$$V \approx 36 \times 3.14 = 113.04 \text{ units}^3$$
