Yes they are different things. Buoyant force is always upward. Weight is always downward. Also ... -- Weight depends on the object's mass. -- Buoyant force depends on its volume, and on what it's floating in.
In the general case, these are quite unrelated; the buoyant force is related to the object's volume, not its weight. Or the part of the volume that is submerged in the liquid or gas. However, if the object is freely floating, then the buoyant force will be equal to its weight.
Buoyant force.The buoyant force is the net upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged or immersed object.Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.An object will float in a fluid if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the object's weight.
The buoyant force is what causes and object to float. If the buoyant force is less than the object weight, it sinks. If the buoyant force is greater than the objects weight, it rises to the top. If it is equal, the object will float in the middle, neither rising or falling.
When an object is floating in equilibrium, the buoyant force equals the weight of the object. (The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid)
If the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force, then it will not float - it will sink.

Buoyant force is defined as the upward force exerted by a liquid, gas or other fluid, that opposes the weight of an immersed object. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the objects. Because all of the objects displace the fluid, buoyant force acts on all of them.
No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas). If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment is equal to the object's weight. Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.
Buoyant force reduces the weight of the body
A buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid being displaced
When an object is floating in equilibrium, the buoyant force equals the weight of the object. (The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid)
