Answer:

Mass is a measure of how much force it will take to change that path. Mass depends on how much matter – atoms and so on – there is in an object; more mass means more inertia, as there is more to get moving. ... Weight, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of downwards force that gravity exerts on an object
