Weight is the pull of gravity on a mass, it is measured in a gravity field using a weighing machine (bathroom scales are an example)
Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it is a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a force is applied.

What do weight and mass measure?
weight and mass measures the volume
Is a pound a measure of mass?
No, it is a measure of weight, there is a difference (Mass is mass, weight is the force exerted by your mass being pulled down by gravity)
How can you measure weight?
Weight is the term for the mass times the acceleration. To measure that, you multiply the mass times the acceleration
How can measure weight?
Weight is the term for the mass times the acceleration. To measure that, you multiply the mass times the acceleration
Weight is a measure of this force?
Weight is a measure of the action of gravity on a mass.
What is used to measure an object's weight?
To measure weight, a scale. To measure mass, a balance.
What metric units would be used to measure the mass of a your weight?
Mass and weight are two different things: you cannot measure the mass of your weight. That is like talking about the temperature of your height - it makes no sense.
Is Weight is the measure of force and mass?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational pull for a mass , such that a mass of 1 Kg is having a weight of 10 Newton . So weight is a downward force measured in Newtons . Weight ( in N ) = Mass ( in Kg ) × Gravity ( usually 10N/Kg )
Is mass a measure of force?
No Weight is a measurement of force... mass is not.
How does a spring balance measure the mass of an object?
A spring device can only measure an object's weight. In order to find its mass, you then have to either compare its weight with the weight of a known mass, or else use the value of gravitational acceleration to calculate the mass from the weight.
Can a balance scale measure mass?
No, it only can measure weight.
Is mass a accurate measure of weight?
While mass can be a measure of weight in day to day use (ie The box weighed 15 kg) technically it is actually a measure of how much gravitational force an object exerts. This is how the term mass is used in physics.
