Mass

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to fill a suitcase for a week-long vacation, but you're not sure how much you can pack without exceeding the airline's weight limit. Just like the suitcase can only hold a certain amount of items before it becomes too heavy, an object can only contain a specific amount of matter, which is its mass. In this analogy, the suitcase represents the object, the items you pack are akin to the matter, and the weight limit is similar to the object's mass, which determines how much matter it contains.
