In general, matter is anything that has massand occupies space. That is a simplistic definition, but it is a great place to start in understanding the world around you.

Here are some other suggestions from our community:

  • The "stuff" in the world can be roughly divided into "matter" and "energy" for starters, and you can begin investigating matter right there. Matter, which has mass, exhibits gravimetric properties; it "dents" or "warps" spacetime in proportion to its mass.
  • Matter is everything around you.
  • Matter is anything made of atoms and molecules.
  • Matter is anything that has a '''mass, weight, volume, or takes up space.
  • In addition, it is everything and anything that is not time, energy, or space. Matter makes up everything from the mountains to the oceans to your fingernail and brain. The only things that are not matter are these: space is what matter exists in, like the area between two walls to put it simply, and example of energy would be light or heat and time is an invention of man to track things that happen in space.
  • Matter is a solid form of energy as expressed in Einstein's equation E=MC2.
