By their very definition, mass and weight cannot be the same. If you were to go to a planetoid whose radius was the same as the earth's radius but the mass was approx a tenth of the earth's mass, then the mass and weight of an object on its surface would have the same numeric value. However, because they are measures of different things, the fact that they have the same numeric value does not mean that they are the same: 5 seconds and 5 kilograms have the same numeric value but nobody (in their right mind) would argue that 5 seconds = 5 kilograms.
What else can I help you with?
Are mass and weight 2 different examples of physical property?
Yes. Weight depends on gravity, so mass remains the same.
How is mass and weight are different?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the strength of gravity.
When an astronaut walks on the moon is either her mass or her weight the same as on earths?
The mass is the same; the weight is not.
How do you find the mass of an animal?
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

What changes with location mass or weight?
weight.. Mass always stays the same
Are the same tools used to measure weight and mass?
mass is measured with a balance comparing an unknown mass with an object of known mass. weight is not measeured with the same tools as mass.
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
When are mass and weight the same?
Mass and weight are different notions in a correct physics terminology.
How the weight and the mass will change if a planet has gravity half as strong as Earth?
Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
Are weight and mass considered the same in outer space?
Absolutely not! Any body has the same mass anywhere. The weight of a body is the effect of gravity on the mass.
What is the same thing as weight?
Mass.
Is Mass the same thing as weight.?
No it is not.
