there is a basic difference because mass is actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg ,gm etc . where as weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg .

the mass is independent for everything but weight is different on the earth,moon etc

plz mark it as. brainliist

Explanation:

Mass is a property of matter. The mass of an object is the same everywhere, Weight depends on the effect of gravity. Weight varies according to location.

Mass can never be zero. Weight can be zero if no gravity acts upon an object, as in space.

Mass does not change according to location. Weight increases or decreases with higher or lower gravity.

Mass is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude. Weight is a vector quantity. It has magnitude and is directed toward the center of the Earth or other gravity well.

Mass may be measured using an ordinary balance. Weight is measured using a spring balance.

Mass usually is measured in grams and kilograms. Weight often is measured in newtons, a unit of force
