Why is it that cold isn't a matter, but a cold drink is?

Solution

Matter:

  • The matter is defined as everything that has mass and fills space.
  • The condition of matter might be solid, liquid, or gaseous.
  • Because it has no mass or occupies no space, cold is not a substance. It's merely a sensation.
  • Cold drink, on the other hand, is a liquid with mass and space, hence it is matter.
  • A cold drink is essentially a liquid with mass and volume.
