For a substance to be classified as matter, it must meet the following two essential conditions:
1. **Mass**: Matter must have mass, which is a measure of the amount of substance in it. This mass gives matter its weight when subjected to a gravitational field.
2. **Volume**: Matter must occupy space, meaning it has a definite volume. This means that matter physically takes up space, whether it's in solid, liquid, or gas form.
These two properties distinguish matter from non-matter phenomena, such as energy or electromagnetic radiation.
