Is it possible for an object's weight to be different from its mass When will it might happen?

You can't compare the mass and the weight. They are different types of things, so comparing them is like comparing, say, a unit of length (like the meter, or foot) with a unit of time (like the second, or hour). Therefore, it doesn't make sense of saying that the mass is "equal to" or "different from" the weight.

Why do objects have different weights?
Some Objects May Weight The Same But Sometimes They Don't But What Im Trying To Say Is That Some Specific Objects Don't Weight The Same
Why do 2 objects of different masses dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time?
Most likely because they're the same weight. Objects can have completely different masses and have the same weight.
Experiment to prove acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass?
Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building. Don't make the objects too small, otherwise, air resistance will interfere with your experiments.Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building.

All objects near the Earth's surface regardless of size and weight have the same force of gravity acting on them True or false?
False. The question says "... regardless of size and weight ...", but it is weight that is the force of gravitybetween the object and the earth. So when the weight is different, the force is different, by definition.
What objects weigh 175 gm?
It would be possible to make almost any object to a weight 175 gm.

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.
How do you find the length when weight is known only?
Not possible for most objects, since there is no relationship between weight and length.

Most likely because they're the same weight. Objects can have completely different masses and have the same weight.
Do all objets fall at te same speed why?
No. Different objects have different weight and weight affects the speed of the objects because of some factors like wind currents, kinetic energy putted in a certain object, etc.

Why do people have different weight on different planets or on the moon?
Because different planets have different mass, which means that gravity is weaker or stronger depending on the mass. If gravity is stronger than objects will have more weight, and if it's weaker they will have less weight.

False. The question says "... regardless of size and weight ...", but it is weight that is the force of gravitybetween the object and the earth. So when the weight is different, the force is different, by definition.
Can you measure the difference in gravitational force between two different normal size objects and the earth?
Sure. You can measure the weight of each of the objects, then subtract. Or you can put the objects on both sides of a pulley; this lets you directly measure the difference in weight.
What objects weigh 175 gm?
It would be possible to make almost any object to a weight 175 gm.
What is the term that refers to two different objects having equal weight in artwork?
informal balance.
