The SI unit of mass is Kilogram (kg).

WEIGHT
The weight of an object is the force with which it is attracted towards the earth.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WEIGHT
1. Weight is a vector quantity.
2. The weight of an object keep changing on the other planet, because it is acceleration due to the gravity. and gravity is different on other planet.
3. W = m x g
