Answer:

Hey buddy, here is your answer. Hope it helps you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, weight of a body is not constant, it varies with the value of acceleration due to gravity, g. Weight of a body is zero, when it is taken to the centre of the earth or in the interplanetary space, where g=0. Mass is the total matter in a body, while weight is the force by which the body is attracted.

Weight is never constant while mass is. So we can have weight zero but with some mass. This will happen when an object is at the centre of earth, as g=0 at centre of earth , so weight will be 0 while mass will always be constant everywhere
