Mass

  • Mass is measured in kilograms.
  • Mass does not change when gravity changes.
  • Mass is the amount of matter in something.

Weight

  • Before I answer, we have to know weight formula. Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity.
  • Therefore, weight is measured in Newtons.
  • Weight changes when gravity changes. This is because weight is dependent on acceleration due to gravity.
  • Weight is a gravitational force.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
