Answer:
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. ... Although air has mass, a small volume of air, such as the air in the balloons, doesn't have too much. Air just isn't very dense. We can show that the air in the balloon has mass by building a balance.
Explanation:
- When you place a deflated balloon on one side of a lever balance and an inflated balloon at the other end, you will see that the side with the inflated balloon tilts downwards. This shows that air has mass.
Does air have weight and mass?
It might not seem like it, but air has weight. Anything with mass has weight, and we know air has mass because (for example) we can feel it when the wind blows. The total weight of the atmosphere exerts a pressure of about 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level.
