No. Some things may be very large, but containing a lot of space only filled by air. Imagine an inflatable bouce house. It's huge, but weighs very little.
The heaviness of a material is determined by the product of the mass of an object and the force of gravity. The density of an object is determined by the ratio of its mass to the volume that it occupies. Something can be very heavy without being very dense, depending on its volume.
Not necessarily. The size of an object is not directly proportional to its mass. For example, a small object made of dense material could have more mass than a larger object made of less dense material.
The formula for density is mass divided by volume. Rearranging the formula to solve for mass, mass is equal to density times volume. If the density is 8 g/cc and the volume is unspecified, we cannot determine the mass with the information given.
Yes, all objects with mass have a gravitational force. However, the strength of the gravitational force depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
light has zero mass. Photons have zero mass. So according to e=mc2 light must also have zero energy. Astonishing how all these photons reach us from all the way across the universe! But all physical things have mass
Because more than 99 % from the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus (protons + neutrons).
Not all heavy things sink. Things that are more dense than the liquid around them will sink.
The great majority of the mass of an atom is found in the nucleus, where protons and neutrons are located. The nucleus is incredibly dense and accounts for almost all of the atom's mass, while electrons, which are much smaller and lighter, contribute very little to the overall mass of the atom.
No, dense rock does not have low gravity. Gravity is a fundamental force that acts on all objects with mass. The density of a rock refers to its mass per unit volume, but it does not affect the force of gravity acting on it.
no, 'time' does not have mass. It is not an actual object that can be seen or touched. Only objects that are "real" have mass. Time is a dimension, not an object.

do not have mass
Objects float because of density. All objects are made up of atoms, and atoms have mass. In order to find the density of an object, divide the mass by volume. If the object is less dense the fluid it is in, then it will float.Because they are less dense than the water.We call the amount of mass in a given volume of space the density. For instance, we could measure the mass of some fresh water in a container. We would then divide the mass of the water by the volume of the container to find the density. However, if we filled the same container with salt water, it would have more mass because the ocean water has the mass of pure water plus the mass of the salt. Since there is more mass in the same volume, ocean water has a greater density then fresh water.For something to float, it must have a density that is less than in what it is floating in.It may seem odd that an enormous ship can float when steel is denser than water. However, if you look at the entire ship you see that there are many places filled with things less dense than water, like air. This means that the density of the entire ship is less dense than that of the water it floats in.To understand why things less dense then water float in water, go to the question "What is the buoyancy principle?" in the Related Questions section below.
Excepting the mass of electrons (but this mass is very small)
Not necessarily. The size of an object is not directly proportional to its mass. For example, a small object made of dense material could have more mass than a larger object made of less dense material.
To find the density of a material all you need to know is the mass and volume of the substance. if you knw the mas and volume...finding out the density is very simple...all you need to do is mass/volume and you will have the density of that substance!
All matter has mass and volume.
