Heat and pressure are the two main factors that determine a substance's current phase.
With high heat a substance's phase drifts toward the gaseous phase while freezing temperatures cause it to move toward its solid phase. With pressure it is the opposite. Higher pressures push the substance toward its solid phase, while lower pressures will encourage the substance to evaporate into its gaseous phase.

How much stuff is in matter?
It depends on the matter, and its phase and density.The quantum of stuff in matter is its mass. The more mass, the more matter.This is because protons, neutrons, and some lighter particles have measurable mass.
