Mass is actual amount of material contained in a bony whereas weight is the amount of gravitational pull acting on the body note that mass is independent. No the mass of the object will not be the same as on earth as there is different gravitational force acting on it

Heya user ,
Here is your answer !!
________________
Mass of a substance is the amount of matter contained in a body .
☆ Its S.I. unit is kg .
☆ It remains constant .
________________
Weight is the force with which a body is pulled to the centre of the earth .
☆ Its S.I. is N ( newton ) .
☆ It changes from place to place .

Mass of a body on Mars will numerically be equal to what it was when it was on Earth since the matter contained by that body cannot change .
But weight will vary depending on the gravitational force exerted on the body
