Density is basically how "dense" an object is. If you have a sugar cube, you can see that there are particles in it that are farther apart with a smaller density than a cube of steel, that the particles are packed closer together.

Density is a way to measure how closely packed together the particles are in an object. If something is very dense, it means the particles are really close together, like a heavy rock. If something is less dense, it means the particles are more spread out, like a balloon filled with air.
You can tell a second grader that gravity is what keeps us on the ground and pulls things towards the Earth. It's like a big invisible magnet that pulls everything down.
A reduced density matrix is a way to describe the state of a subsystem within a larger quantum system. For example, if we have a two-qubit system, the reduced density matrix for one qubit would describe its state while ignoring the other qubit's information.
Density is the term used to describe how much matter or mass is in a given volume. It is typically measured in units such as kilograms per cubic meter or grams per milliliter.
Population density is a term used to describe how crowded a place is based on the number of people per unit of area.
No, the density of a substance does not affect how fast it falls in a vacuum. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their density due to gravity. It is only in a medium like air that density can play a role in how fast an object falls due to air resistance.
