How do you explain to someone how much mater is in an object?
By using mass. (In physics, mass (from Greek μᾶζα "barley cake, lump (of dough)"), more specifically inertial mass, is a quantitative measure of an object's resistance to acceleration.) Essentially mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. So to explain the amount of matter in an object one would have to find the mass of an object. Mass is normally measured in grams. To measure the mass of an object on would have to weigh it with an accurate balance. Now, you might ask yourself if mass and weight are the same thing. In the vernacular it is, but to physicists it refers to the amount of gravitational force exerted upon an object.Sources:WikipediaMy memory
