Weight is affected by the gravitational pull of a large body of mass while mass is affected by how many particles you have in your body. Weight is determined by the equation Fg=mg while mass is determined from a mass balance.

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 measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?
