Weight is mass x gravity. If an object is placed in a location where there is more gravity, or less, its weight will change accordingly.
Its mass will hardly change, except for very slight effects caused by the Special Theory of Relativity (an increase in potential energy implies an increase in mass), but this is only so for an outside observer, and the effect is so small that it can be ignored for most practical purposes.

What does the mass number identify?
The mass number identifies how much an objects weight is.
Is An object's weight is always the same as its mass?
It is possible for objects weight's to change, while its mass remains constant.
Does mass affect the weight?
Yes. For most purposes, weight is a constant multiple of mass.
Mass and weight are related by?
The "acceleration due to gravity" at the location where the weight is measured.
What measures mass by comparing the weight of two objects?
Scales or balances
How the location of an object affect its mass and weight?
The location like moon will affect its weight but not the mass
Does mass or weight depend on a objects location?
Yes. Weight does.
Does increasing an objects mass affect the objects weight if gravity does not change?
yes
Does the weight of an object affect the motion'?
Strictly speaking weight is the force of gravity acting on an object. It should not be confused with the objects mass. Weight ⇔ force When something is on the moon it weights less but its mass is the same. Something special about gravity is that in the absence of air friction, all objects accelerate down at the same rate irrespective of their weight because as a objects weight increases, so does its mass. Take the equation.. F = ma or (weight of an object) = (its mass) x (its acceleration) When an objects weight doubles so does it mass, so the acceleration does not change.
Does weight define an objects mass?
No, weight is a force. Mass is proportional to density.
How does gravity affect the object's mass and weight?
Gravity affects weight, it does not affect mass.
Are objects masses?
Of course objects have mass because Mass is any object that has weight.
The average position of the distribution of the weight of an object is?
Center of gravity is the average position of the distribution of the weight of an object. For objects near the earth's surface, center of gravity is the same location as center of mass. This is because weight and mass are proportional.
What factors determine the force of gravity between two objects?
the mass of the objects and the distance of the objects
What objects does gravity affect?
Anything with mass
What changes with location mass or weight?
weight.. Mass always stays the same
Does density define an objects mass?
weight
