Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity.
My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.

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
What is different about weight and mass measurement?
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
What is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?
Question should be "why is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?" On the earth, an object is attracted by it, due to its gravitational force which is dependent on the properties of the earth (its mass and the force it exerts on the body). On another heavenly body like the moon, mars etc the same object is attracted by it due to its gravitational force which is dependent on the properties of that planet (its mass and the force it exerts on the body). Since the heavenly bodies are of various sizes and gravitational pull, the force exerted by them (weight) on the same object will be different. However, the "quantity" of "material" or "substance" which is a measure of mass will be the same no matter on which planet you take it to. Mass is a measure of material content. Weight is a measure of force.
How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?
If your mass for example is 10 kg then your weight is 98 newton as the weight=mass *gravity ; weight=mass*9.8 , other example if you went to the moon your mass won`t change but your weight will as gravity changed.
Is weight a measurement of how much mass is in a given volume?
No weight is a measurement of how much force something experiences due to gravity.

What measurement is used more often by scientists mass or weight?
they are the same thing.
How is measurement of weight different from of mass?
Which term describes how much space a substance occupies? volume Not sure how that question relates to the one initially asked, but the answer to 'How is measurement of weight different from measurement of mass?' is weight includes the force of gravity. Weight Includes The Force Of Gravity (A+)Weight is the measurement of the force of gravity in relation to mass, while mass is the measurement of matter in an object.
Does mass or weight stay the same when gravitational force changes?
Mass stays the same but weight does not. Mass is a measurement of how MUCH of an object there is, so a 5 Kilogram weight is still 5 Kilograms in space, even thought it would be weightless.
How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?
Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it
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.

Is mass a measure of force?
No Weight is a measurement of force... mass is not.
Measurement of gravity's effect on a mass?
Weight.
Difference between center of mass and center of gravity?
The center of mass is a geometrical measurement not considering the weight distribution. The center of gravity is one location on a particular mass structure where the distribution of weight is the same no matter the direction of the measurement as it pertains to that one particular mass structure.
Which measurement your weight or mass would be the same when taken on Earth and on the Moon?
Your mass is never different no matter where you are. Mass is the amount of space you take up. Your weight is a different thing, and that changes with the amount of gravity. In outer space you are 'weightless' but not massless.
