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

MASS
1. mass is the quantity of matter contained in the body.
2. it is measure of the inertia of the body.
3. mass is a constant quantity.
4. it only has magnitude.
5. the si unit is kilograms (kg)
WEIGHT
1. weight is the force of gravity acting on the body.
2. it is measure of gravity.
3. weight is not constant quantity. it is different at different place.
4. it has magnitude as well as direction.
5. tje si unit is same as the si unit of force i.e newton.
