Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. Mass measures the amount of stuff in an object and does not change in different locations, while weight is the measure of the force of gravity on an object and can vary depending on location. Volume is the amount of space an object occupies and the meniscus must be used to accurately measure liquid volume, while gas volume depends on temperature and pressure conditions.
