Answer:

Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Mass is often measured in kilograms or grams. The masses of two objects are compared using a balance. Weight is the downward pull on an object due to gravity. Weight is often measured in newtons or pounds, using a spring scale.

Answer:

so the differences between both are that the mass is the amount of heaviness in an object or even of you but the weight normally is the mass multiplicated with the gravity of the earth and normally their are measured with this simple formula

M = V . D (mass = volumeby density)

Example

Volume = 3.000 cm³

Density = 3.52 g/cm³

M = 3.000 . 3,52 = 10.560 g

Then you have the weight

To have the result you have to multiplicate the mass and the gravity acceleration
