Overview
Density is a fundamental intensive property of matter. It represents the mass of a substance per unit of its volume. Understanding density is crucial in material science, fluid dynamics, and identifying unknown substances.

Pro Tips
If you are using SI units (kg and m³), the resulting density will be in kg/m³.
Water has a density of approximately 1000 kg/m³ or 1.0 g/cm³ at standard conditions.
Density is an 'intensive' property, meaning it doesn't change based on how much of the material you have.

Fun Facts
"Saturn is the only planet in our solar system that is less dense than water; it would literally float in a giant bathtub."
"The densest naturally occurring element is Osmium (22.59 g/cm³), while Aerogel is one of the least dense solids (0.001 g/cm³)."
"Human body density is very close to that of water, which is why we can float with just a little air in our lungs."
