Density is not how much something weighs. Density and weight go together but are not the same thing as each other.

What describes how much something weighs compared to its size?
Density, this describes somethings mass per unit volume.
Does the density of an object tell how massive something is?
No. Density says how much it weighs per volume unit, like kilo per liter.An example is that lead has higher density than water (weighs more per liter), but a lot of water still weighs more (is more massive) than a little lead.
What does the word dense mean?
The "density" of something is a measure of how much it weighs (technically, it's mass) per amount of space it takes up (it's volume). The formula for density is Density = mass/volume. So something that is very heavy but doesn't take up much space is considered to have a high density (like lead), but something that is light and takes up a lot of space has a low density (like feathers). So the word "dense" usually refers to things that have a high density. It is also commonly used colloquially to refer to somebody who is maybe a bit slow to understand things (I think it is reference to their skull being dense, thus not allowing much in or out of their brains!). Density = Mass / Volume Plutonium is very dense. Styrofoam isn't. Water has a density of 0. Density is the consitration of matter in an object

How can something that weighs a lot have small density?
Something that weights a lot change have a small density if it is a big object. The weight of an object is equal to mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity and m is mass. m = pv, where p is density and v is volume. If the density is small, but the volume is very big, then the mass will be big, causing the weight to be big.
What is weight density?
How much something weighs per pound.How much something weighs per pound.
What is the relationship of mass to density?
The relationship of mass to density is that density is found by dividing mass over volume. Density is how tightly packed atoms are in an object while mass is how much something weighs.
What describes how much something weighs compared to its size?
Density, this describes somethings mass per unit volume.
What is the relationship between upthrust and relative density?
Well... i think that upthrust is a force that pushes things upwards and dnsity is how much something weighs... or the force that pulls something downwards...or how much heavy something is

Would it be fair to say that the difference between mass and volume is density?
well mass is how much something weighs and volume is how much space something takes up so so yeah i guess you could ...
How are mass volume and density different from each other?
Mass is how much a thing weighs, Volume is how much space it takes up, and Density is how much it weighs per unit volume and is calculated as mass/volume
Is density an example of a chemical change?
No, density is simply a property of a substance. It's how "heavy" something is. Water, for example, has a density of 1 gram per milliliter. Meaning every milliliter weighs one gram. Some are much more (Mercury), some are much less (Air).
Sentence for density?
Density is how much mass something has for its volume.
How do scientists know how much a dinosaur weighs?
by the density in which the bones accumalated equal out to
Can anyone give an ENGLISH meaning for Density?
Well it's kind of hard since Density is a MATHEMATICAL concept, not an ENGLISH concept. Oversimplifcation: Density is a comparison between how much a sample of something weighs compared to its size. If a small size sample is heavy, then it has high Density. If a large size sample is light, then it has low Density.
What is the density of something that weighs 10.32g and occupies a volume of 11.72 cm3?
Density = Mass/Volume (It is not weight, but mass). = 10.32/11.72 = 0.88 g per cm3
