Question

Substances which occupy space, have mass and can be felt by human senses are called ________.

• A. Matter
• B. Thought
• C. Cold
• D. Smell

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Matter

Anything that has mass and occupies some space is called matter. So, a bottle, a pencil, a phone, tea, humans, stars, galaxies and many many more.

But things that either don't have mass or don't occupy any space are not matter. For example, light doesn't really have any mass. It doesn't occupy any space either. Similarly, heat doesn't have mass and doesn't occupy space. These are all forms of energy.
