No. Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object. Weight is the amount of force an object experiences due to gravity. For example, a rock that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh about 17 pounds on the moon due to the weaker gravity, but its mass would be the same.

- Mass is a measure of the amount of material or matter in an object. It is measured in grams, kilograms etc,and does not change no matter where it is.
- Weight is the gravitational force exerted on that object. Weight will change depending on how close to the Equator the object is. This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere but squashed in and fatter around the middle. The weight of an astronaut changes as he or she travels from the Earth into space and then onto the Moon. Roughly speaking the weight of an object on the Moon is 1/6 of its weight on the Earth. Weight is measured in Newtons, N.

Does everything have definite mass?
The right answer is yes. This is because your mass always stays the same, the only thing that does change is your weight. Dhaivat
Between mass and weight which is dependent on the other?
The weight is dependent on the mass. Mass is the same everywhere but since weight is mass * acceleration due to gravity, weight is the dependent variable.
How does going to the moon affect mass and weight?
The person's weight is 0 kg. and the mass will be some thing but i don't knowThanks.
Do all rocks weigh the same if they have a different mass but the same weight?
Do all rocks weigh the same if they have a different mass but the same weight? Let's look at the question without one bit of it..... "Do all rocks weigh the same if they have ......... .... ... the same weight?" If things are the same weight, then they weigh the same.
How is mass weight and force the same?
They're not. Weight and force are the same, but mass doesn't belong."Mass" is the stuff an object is made of, and never changes."Weight" is the force of gravity between the object and another mass.Weight depends on what the other mass is, and how far the object is from it.That's why the same mass has different weights on the earth and moon.
Is the mass of body the same thing as the weight?
No. The weight is the mass times the acceleration. W=ma. The weight can be zero if the acceleration is zero, even if the mass is positive. Mass and weight are not the same thing.
What is the same thing as weight?
Mass.
Is Mass the same thing as weight.?
No it is not.
Does gravity have the same effect on weight as it does on mass?
weight and mass are the same thing essentially. weight is a measurement of mass. so technically the answer to your question is yes
Do mass and weight mean the same thing?
No
What data was used to determine if mass and weight is the same thing?
No proper data can be used to determine a falsehood, and since mass and weight are NOT the same thing there can be no such data.
Are pounds mass?
Anything that can be weighed in pounds contains mass. But weight and mass are not the same thing.
Are mass and weight equal on earth?
Yes its the same thing.
Would a star have more mass or weight?
Mass and weight are the same thing. *Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measurement of matter within the object and weight is the force applied to the object from gravity. So, to answer your question a star would have much more mass than weight because there is very little gravity affecting the Sun.
What is a thing that weighs 2kgs when dry?
A kilogram is a measure of mass, not of weight. They are not the same thing!
What are the relations between mass and weight?
The relations between mass and weight are that mass shows how much an object contains. This is about the same thing as weight - how much an object contains.
Are mass and weight the same or same thing?
They are quite different things. The relationship between the two is: weight = mass x gravity.For more information about the difference between the two, check the Wikipedia article on "Mass versus weight".
