Mass is the property that gives an object its inertia, that is, its resistance to change in velocity. In SI, mass is measured in kilograms. An object with more mass will be more difficult to start moving, or to stop. Mass is also the property that provides gravitational attraction.

∙ 12y agoInformally, mass is called the "amount of substance". More specifically, mass is a property of matter that causes (a) inertia, that is, it takes an effort to get an object moving, or to slow it down, and (b) gravitational attraction, i.e., weight.
