: Think of it as how "tightly packed" the matter is. For example, a cubic centimeter of bricks is much denser (1.6 g/cm³) than a cubic centimeter of feathers (0.0025 g/cm³). Key Characteristics “The simple answer is how heavy something is for its size

“Think of a fruit basket... The total weight of the fruits is the same, but the basket's size determines how densely packed they are.” Teach Spectacular Science quick density review

: Since density is unique to each substance at a given temperature, it is often used to identify unknown materials.
