Explanation:
- 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 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. Weight usually is denoted by W. Weight is mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity (g).

- Mass is the quantity of matter contain in a body where weight is the force of gravity acting in a body.
- Mass is a constant quantity but weight is not a constant quantity. It is different at different places.
- Mass is a scaler quantity where weight is a vector quantity.
- Mass is measured in kilogram but weight is measured in newton.
