Density is best defined as --

• the amount of matter an object has

• the amount of space taken up by matter

• the amount of mass an object has in a certain volume

• the measure of the amount of gravity acting on an object's mass

Volume is best defined as --

• anything that has mass and takes up space

• the measure of the amount of gravity acting on an object's mass
