WEll, mass is how much you take up. If you were to go to the moon, you weight would change but your mass would not. Answer your question?
My version:Weight is a subjective measurement based on gravityMass is a measurement that precludes the effects of gravity and will be how the gravitational pull is measured

Does mass and weight make gravity?
The force of gravity depends on the masses involved. Weight is a force ascribed to gravity.
Does mass of an object change depending on where it is?
No, the mass of an object is independent of where it is. The mass does not change. However, the weight (that is the product of mass and gravity acceleration) changes by change of the gravity. For example, the gravity on the moon is 1/6th that on earth. so, the object weight on the moon is 1/6th the same object weight on earth.
Why your weight would change if you went to the moon but your mass would not?
* Mass doesn't change because of conservation of mass. * Weight changes because it is the product of mass x gravity - and gravity on the Moon is less.
Does gravity affect your weight and mass?
The force of gravity (or acceleration) affects weight but not mass. An object's mass does not change - it is the physical composition of the object. Weight increases as the force of gravity increases and decreases in the same way.
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.
Does gravity give you mass?
No, it gives you weight. Mass does not change in the presence of gravity.

Would your weight change on mt Everest?
mass does not change but weight does because weight is equal to mass times gravity. gravity is weaker at higher elevations. gravity does not change at higher elevations, as long as you remain inside Earth's atmosphere

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.
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).
What way dose mass cores pond with weight?
The formula that relates them is: weight = mass x gravity If gravity doesn't change - which is the usual case close to Earth's gravity - you can say that weight is proportional to mass. That means that twice the mass results in twice the weight.
How would your weight and mass change if you were floating freely in space?
the weight reduces due to change in gravity but mass remains constant
