Mass is the measure of mutual gravitational pull to other bodies, or a fundamental property of an object. Weight is the measure of force on an object due to gravity.

Mass= is how big something is.
Weight= is how heavy something is.
They are different things because weight is talking about heavy... not how big it is.
