Forms of Matter.
Liquids and gases are both special types of fluids. The difference between liquids and gases is that liquids can have an edge. The edge of a liquid is called a surface.

Matter has a property called mass. Energy (sound, light, heat) does not have mass.
Matter attracts other matter with a force called gravity. Light is not matter, but its movement is changed by gravity as though it was matter. Usually light acts as a wave, but in special cases light acts as a particle.
