Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has. Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter. Thus if you were to travel to the moon your weight would change because the pull of gravity is weaker there than on Earth but, your mass would stay the same because you are still made up of the same amount of matter.

The difference between mass and weight :
Mass is the amount of matter contained in the body.Wheras Weight is the force exerted on a body due to the gravitational pull of another body such as the earth, the sun, etc.
The SI unit of mass is kilogram (kg).
Since weight is a force, its SI unit is Newton (N).
