Density : \Den"si*ty\, n. [L. densitas; cf. F. densit['e].]
1. The quality of being dense, close, or thick; compactness;
-- opposed to rarity.
2. (Physics) The ratio of mass, or quantity of matter, to
bulk or volume, esp. as compared with the mass and volume
of a portion of some substance used as a standard.
Note: For gases the standard substance is hydrogen, at a
temperature of 0[deg] Centigrade and a pressure of 760
millimeters. For liquids and solids the standard is
water at a temperature of 4[deg] Centigrade. The
density of solids and liquids is usually called
specific gravity, and the same is true of gases when
referred to air as a standard.
