Answer:
The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it.
Explanation:
The difference between mass and weight is that mass is the amount of matter in a material, while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body. Mass is denoted using m or M. ... Weight is mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity (g).

Explanation:
MASS
- Mass usually is measured in grams and kilograms.
- Mass may be measured using an ordinary balance.
- Mass is a scalar quantity. It has magnitudeMass does not change according to location.
- Mass can never be zero.
- Mass is a property of matter. The mass of an object is the same everywhere.
- Mass does not change according to location.
WEIGHT
- Weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.
- Weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the center of the Earth or other gravity well.
- Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.
- Weight is measured using a spring balance.
- Weight varies according to location.
- Weight often is measured in newtons, a unit of force.
