There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth, moon, etc

Mass:

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a body.

Mass of the body is the constant quantity and does not change with the change of position or location.

Weight:

Weight is the force exerted by a body when it is in a gravitational field. It depends upon the gravitational field

Weight of the body is the variable quantity and changes with the change in position and location due to the acceleration of the gravity acting on it. Yes they are used at different places and time.

So these are the basic difference between Weight and Mass of the object
