* Volume: Measures the amount of space an object occupies. Think of it as how much "room" the object takes up. It's often measured in units like liters (L), cubic meters (m³), or gallons.
* Mass: Measures the amount of matter an object contains. It's essentially how much "stuff" is in the object. We often use units like grams (g), kilograms (kg), or pounds (lb).
Here's the key difference:
* Volume is about the size of an object. A big, fluffy pillow might take up a lot of space (high volume) even though it's lightweight (low mass).
* Mass is about the amount of stuff inside the object. A small, dense piece of metal could have a low volume but a high mass because it packs a lot of matter into a small space.
Think of it this way:
* You could have a big, empty balloon (high volume, low mass).
* Or, you could have a tiny, dense rock (low volume, high mass).
