The terms "mass" and "weight" are used interchangeably in ordinary conversation, but the two words don't mean the same thing. The difference between mass and weight is that mass is the amount of matter in a material while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.
Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body. Mass is denoted using m or M.
Weight is the measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to the acceleration due to gravity.
Weight usually is denoted by W. Weight is mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity.
W = m * g

The differences are as follows....
1. Mass is a scalar quantity while weight is a vector quantity.
2. SI unit of mass is Kg while the
SI unit of weight is Newton.
3.Mass cannot change anywhere on the earth
while weight change place to place.
4.Mass is the amount of matter present in that body while weight is the force with which body attract towards earth.
#Mass value will be same on Mars as compared to earth and weight will change as compared on the earth.
