Density measures how tightly packed particles are.

If particles are tightly packed together, they will be more dense.

If they are loosely together, they will be less dense.

However, a common mistake is thinking that if something

is more dense it means that it's heavier.

However, that's not the case.

It has to do with how particles are packed in an object.
