An air mass is a body of air. It has similar characteristics to the land on top of which it forms.

Fronts are the boundaries in between two different, or same air masses. (e.g: a cold front is when a cold air mass hits a warm air mass and quickly pushes the warm air mass upward.)

An air mass is essentially a gigantic blob of air with given general characteristics, such as warm, cool, moist, or dry. A front is what marks the boundary between two different air masses.

A cold front marks where a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one.

A warm front marks where a warmer air mass advances while a cooler one retreats.

A stationary front marks a boundary between a warm and cold air mass, but neither one advances on the other.

A dry line marks where a dry air mass pushes into a moist air mass with little temperature difference.
