Weight is a measure of the gravitational force between two objects (normally the Earth and whatever it is we're weighing). It is directly proportional to mass, so yes: two objects of different mass will have different weights when measured under the same conditions.
(Scientists like mass rather than weight because mass doesn't change with location. A 1 kg mass on Earth will still be 1 kg on the Moon or Mars, though its weight there will be less.)

Changing the mass or volume of an object changes what?
weight
When does the weight of a body change?
Weight changes when the mass acting upon it changes or the distance between them alters. Mass does not change, weight may.
Why does changing shape of an object dose not change the density?
Changing the shape CAN change the density. If you change it into a smaller shape, then you increase the density. However the mass will not change.
Does changing the mass change the density?
Density never changes >.<
Does mass and weight change with location because the force of gravity changes?
Mass does not change!!! Whatever the force of gravity, the object contains the same amount of matter. However, weight does change because the gravitational acceleration changes.
How can you change weight and not the mass?
There is really only 1 way you can change the weight of an object without changing the mass. You must change gravity.
Does the mass of something change if you change it shape?
No. Mass is independent of shape. The mass, as measured by weight, will be the same. If the material is compressible and you change the volume as a result of changing the shape, the density will change although the mass will not.
Does changing the volume of water change the mass of 1 cm3 of water?
No. It may change its weight if weighed at varying depths.
Will your and mass or weight change When you travel to Neptune?
Your mass will not but your weight will.
Changing the mass or volume of an object changes what?
weight
Does your mass change if you were to travel to the moon?
Your mass will not change, but your weight will.
Does mass or weight change?
Weight changes but, ordinarily, mass doesn't.
Will the weight of an object change if it changes it state?
No. The mass of an object doesn't change (Law of Conservation of Mass), therefore its weight won't change either (weight = mass x gravity).
Does changing the mass of water change the mass of 1 cm3 of water?
No
What factors can effect body mass?
Weight difference or changing
When does the weight of a body change?
Weight changes when the mass acting upon it changes or the distance between them alters. Mass does not change, weight may.
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.
