i found this information on safari, if you need me to word it differently i will do so!
___________________________________
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 mass multiplied by the acceleration of gravity (g)

Answer and Explanation:

Your mass is the same no matter where you go in the universe; your weight, on the other hand, changes from place to place. Mass is measured in kilograms; even though we usually talk about weight in kilograms, strictly speaking, it should be measured in newtons, the units of force.
