Best Answer

Air consists of a variety of different gases in relative proportions. Air is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, and other elements and compounds. These elements and compounds have a mass and they take up space.

Matter is defined as anything that has mass and takes up space (matter has a mass and volume).

Air is matter because it fits the definition of matter (based on its properties and how we currently think about matter).
