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.

Answer:
1) Mass is the actual amount of matter contained in a body.
2) Mass is independent of everything and does not change with respect to place.
3) Weight is the force exerted by the gravity on the gravity of the object and is equal to the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity at the place.
4) Weight is measured in N or dyne, Whereas, mass is measured in kg or g.
5) Weight on an object will be different on Earth and Mars but mass of the object remains the same.
6) The weight will be different on Earth and Mars because Mars has different acceleration due to gravity.
