There are times when you want to send out an email to multiple recipients to keep them in the loop about a certain project or event without needing a direct response from them. 

That’s when you would want to CC them instead of writing an email to them. CCing someone on an email allows you to copy that person while indicating that they’re not the primary recipient.
