Answer:
Mass : Mass is simply the measure of the amount of matter in a body.
Mass is a base quantity.
Mass only has magnitude and so, it is a scalar quantity.
Weight : Weightis the measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to acceleration due to gravity.
Weight is a derived quantity.
Weight has both magnitude and direction (towards the centre of gravity) and so, it is a vector quantity.

Explanation:
- The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it.
- 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.
