This is a general property of
matter: matter occupies volume.
Another essential property of matter is that matter has mass, something which we experience every time we weigh different objects on some scales. Not only what is at hand is matter. The planets, the sun and the rest of the stars, the galaxies...are also matter. And also at a microscopic level, cells, viruses, DNA are also matter... We can say that everything that occupies a volume and has mass is matter. Matter forms all the bodies in the universe. Click on next (at the top right of the page), to find out more about matter. |
