Density is defined as a substance's mass per unit of volume (d=m/v). Another way to say this is how much mass is contained in a set quantity of three dimensional space.
Paper clips have a density greater than the density of water.
Ok, say you have a hollow log. Now say you stuffed it with cotton. The more that is in the log, it gets heavier. That is how density works.

Yes! I'm glad you asked! An object can vary with density, but only so. Example: If an objects density is, say, 6.7, it would NOT be able to increase to 9.8. Say you have a gummy bear, and it's density is 1.5. It may very well change to 1.8, or 2.0. But not to 3.0.
Man applies the concept of density in many ways. One way is by designing ships and submarines that will float on water. If the density of the object is less than the water's density, the object will float, but if its density is less than the density of water, it will sink.
you can say it has a low density
it has a low density
A practical use for density is finding the mass or volume of an object. To find out that mass, say you already have the volume and the density, you would do M = DxV. To find out volume, say you already have mass and the density, you would do V = M/D (/ means divide by the way)

Yes humidity effects the density of air in a way when humidity increases the air density decreases . the reason behind this phenomena is when the amount water vapor increases the major air content i.e O2 and N2 decreases per volume and since we are talking about air density we say density of air is decreased.
The density depends on temperature.

Water has a greater density than ice.
A good way of remembering density is visualizing the "D" for density being a bow an arrow. Then think of the m/v being a heart.
You might say that: most people would not.
