Density

An object’s mass per unit volume

Real World Example

Imagine trying to fit all your clothes into a suitcase for a trip. This is similar to density because just like you're trying to pack as many clothes as possible into a limited space, density measures how much mass you can fit into a given volume. In this analogy, the clothes are like the mass, the suitcase is the volume, and how tightly you pack the clothes represents the density—more clothes (mass) in the same suitcase (volume) means a higher density.
