How to use "Heaviness" in context?
When people talk about heaviness, they are usually referring to how something feels physically, rather than how heavy it is in terms of pounds or kilograms. Things that feel heavy to the touch tend to be materials that are dense, like metal or concrete. Heavy things tend to pull down on other objects, so they can take up more space. This can make them difficult to lift or move. Objects that are heavy typically have a higher mass, or amount of matter, than objects that are lightweight. There is also a psychological dimension to heaviness.
