Why does a kilogram of lead have a bigger density than a kilogram of feathers?

The density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. A given volume of lead has more mass than a given volume of feathers. In common usage mass often refers to weight, but that is not a very exact usage of it. For this question it may be useful however to think of a given weight of lead per volume and a given weight of feathers.
If you have a kg of lead, that is a small piece, a kg of feathers is a large amount.
So for a given volume, say a cubic centimeter, the weight of lead is much more than the weight of feathers.

Which has a greater weight a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead which has greater density?
They both weight a kilogram. Lead has a higher density.
Which material has greater density lead or feathers?
Lead
Why does a kilogram of lead occupy a much smaller volume than a kilogram of water?
lead has much higher density
Why does a pound of feathers and a pound of lead weigh the same?
Because pounds measure weight. A pound of feathers would be a whole lot bigger than a pound of lead.
What is denser a ton of lead or a ton of feathers?
Lead is more dense than feathers. It doesn't matter how much you have of either one. A chip of lead is more dense than a 10-mile convoy of trucks loaded with feathers.
Why would 1 kilogram of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1 kilogram of feathers?
Because of its' mass density. The lead would be much smaller in size.
Would a kilogram of feathers be heavier than a kilogram of lead?
No, both a kilogram of feathers and a kilogram of lead would weigh the same, as they both have a mass of one kilogram. However, the volume of feathers would be much larger than the volume of lead due to their different densities.
Which weighs more a kilogram of lead or feathers?
A kilogram of lead weighs the same as a kilogram of feathers. The difference lies in the volume and density of the materials - lead being much denser than feathers, so it would take up much less space than the feathers.
What would have the larger mass a kilogram of lead or a kilogram of feathers?
A kilogram is a measure of mass therefore a kilogram of lead and a kilogram of feathers have the same mass: one kilogram. They would, however, have different volumes and densities.
Which has a greater weight a kilogram of butter or a kilogram of lead which has greater density?
They both weight a kilogram. Lead has a higher density.
Which is denser lead or feathers?
Lead is denser than feathers. Lead is a heavy metal with a high density, while feathers are lightweight and have a low density due to the air trapped within them.
Which material has greater density lead or feathers?
Lead
Which is denser a kilogram of water or a kilogram of lead?
A kilogram of water and a kilogram of lead have the same mass, but lead is denser than water. Lead has a higher density because it has more mass packed into a smaller volume compared to water.
Does a kilogram of lead weigh as much as 100 g of feathers?
Yes
Why does a kilogram of lead occupy a much smaller volume than a kilogram of water?
lead has much higher density
Why does 1kg of lead be less awkward to carry around than 1kg of feathers?
One kilogram of lead is denser than one kilogram of feathers, so it takes up less space. This makes it easier to carry the lead compared to the same weight of feathers, which would occupy much more volume and be more cumbersome.
Which has greater weight a kilogram of butter of kilogram of lead what is greater density which has greater volume?
They both weigh the same: 1kg = 1kg. The kg of butter has a greater volume and the kg of lead has a higher density.
