Answer:

Density is the substance's mass per unit of volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ, although the Latin letter D can also be used. Mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by volume.

Weight is a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
