Step-by-step explanation:

Hence, weight of a body will change from one place to another place because the value of g is different in different places. For example, the value of g on moon is 1/6 times of the value of g on earth. As mass is independent of g , so it will not change from place to place.

Step-by-step explanation:

No matter where you are in the universe, your mass is always the same: mass is a measure of the amount of matter which makes up an object. Weight, however, changes because it is a measure of the force between an object and body on which an object resides (whether that body is the Earth, the Moon, Mars, et cetera).
