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. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:
Mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured is kg, gm etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. The mass is independent of everything but weight is dependent on the gravitational force of different bodies.
