Best Answer

For a given material, while the material itself has the same density, a solid OBJECT of EQUAL VOLUME has greater density than if light weighted. For example a one inch diameter solid ball has greater density than a one inch diameter hollow ball.

USUALLY, a solid has a greater density than a liquid or a gas, for the same substance, if that's what you mean. There are some exceptions, for example water.
