How does matter relate to mass?

Explanation

Solution

To answer this question we should know what is mass and matter. The matter is a thing that has weight and volume. The thing near us matters. We feel the mass of anything as its weight. At the smallest level matter is made up of atoms.

Complete answer:
Anything that has mass and volume and occupies a space is known as matter. Anything that exists is a matter. The atoms combine to form a molecule and from molecule to compound and substance and matter. The amount of matter in a body is known as mass.

For example, we can consider sugar. When we hold some amount of sugar suppose one-kilogram we will feel its weight (although weight is considered under gravitational force). When we say how heavy or light a thing we talk about the mass of that matter.
The matter is a physical substance and mas is its properties.
Therefore mass is the amount of the matter.

Note: Mass is directly proportional to the amount and volume. A thing having a high amount will occupy more space than a thing in a low amount. Mass cannot be created or destroyed. Mass follows the law of conservation. We can convert the mass from one form to another form or in form of energy. We can calculate the amount of matter. Mass is measured in kilogram units. Kilogram is the SI unit of mass. The matter is measured in terms of mass and volume.
