Mass is the amount of matter present in a body while weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter. Mass is an intrinsic property of the body and remains the same wherever the body might be. Weight is a force, and force is (Mass * Acceleration). The weight of an object is its mass times the acceleration due to gravity. The weight of the body differs by place. For example, objects weigh less on the moon where gravity is lower compared to the Earth.

Mass
it is a scalar quantity
it is the amount of matter contained in a an object
it is expressed by 'm'
its SI unit is 'kg'
it is constant
Weight
it is a vector quantity
it is the force which attracts an object because of gravity
It is expressed by 'W'
Its SI unit is 'N'
It is not constant quantity
I think No the weight varies but mass is constant
