Answer:

Yes, air is matter because it is a gas composed mostly of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, and gases do have mass because they’re molecules bouncing around a contained volume (here, the atmosphere). Water vapor, mixed in to some extent with air, is also a gas and therefore has mass.It takes up space and volume
