A huge body of air with similar temperature and moisture throughout

Real World Example

Imagine opening your closet and finding all your clothes are the same color and fabric, making it easy to decide what to wear. This is similar to how an air mass functions, as it is a large expanse of the atmosphere where the temperature and moisture levels are uniform throughout. Just like your closet full of identical outfits provides consistency and predictability in dressing, an air mass offers a consistent weather pattern over a large area, as it maintains the same temperature and moisture characteristics throughout, much like the uniformity of your clothing.
