Explanation:
In common usage, the mass of an object is often referred to as its weight, though these are in fact different concepts and quantities. In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity.

Answer:
The mass is essentially "how much stuff" is in an object.Mass measures the quantity of matter regardless of both its location in the universe and the gravitational force applied to it.
Weight: There is a gravitational interaction between objects that have mass. If you consider an object interacting with the Earth, this force is called the weight. The unit for weight is the Newton (same as for any other force).
