1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.
2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.
3) The Mass of an object doesn't change when an object's location changes. Weight, on the other hand does change with location.

Mass is a measurement of how much matter a thing has whereas weight is a measurement of how hard gravity pulls on that thing.
Mass never changes: you have the same mass whether you're in your house, in a hot-air balloon, on Mars or dancing through space. But your weight will change depending on the amount of force gravity is exerting on you. For example, if you weight 120lbs on Earth, on Pluto you would weight only 8lbs. This is because of the change in the attraction your mass has for the mass of the planet (or planetoid) you're standing on.
mass is constant. weight is a measure of the force of gravity on an items mass, which can change based on elevation, or for astronauts, when they are in space.
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength. W=mg On Earth, g=9.8N/kg On Mercury, g=3.8N/kg Thefore the difference in weight will be the objects mass x (9.8-3.8) = 6 x the objects mass. Weight difference = 6m
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
The difference is that the mass density not effect by gravity but weight density effect by gravity. for example if mass density cotn in earth equal to 20 kg/m3 and weight density equal to 196.2 N/m3 this cotn will change the weight density in the moon but mass density not change because gravity moon diffrent to gravity earth mass density =mass/volume (no gravity) weight density= (mass * gravity)/volume (gravity)
yes, mass is the amount of stuff you are made of, it does not change, weight depends on the force of gravity, which is why you weigh less on the moon.
Numerical difference=m-mg mass is independent of gravitational pull but weight doesnt
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
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)
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength. W=mg On Earth, g=9.8N/kg On Mercury, g=3.8N/kg Thefore the difference in weight will be the objects mass x (9.8-3.8) = 6 x the objects mass. Weight difference = 6m
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
Mass- the amount of matter that something is made of Weight- a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object
mass is the actual ''density'' of an object. whereas weight is determined by gravity and mass w=m*g hope this helps
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
I do not know the answer.The difference between mass and capacity is that capacity is how much something can hold and mass is the weight of an object.
Weight difference or changing
I'm not sure what you mean, but weighing by difference is when you:Take the weight of an empty container, fill the container with a substance.Take the weight of the container holding the substance.Subtract the empty container's mass from the mass of the container and the substance.You will then get the mass of the substance.The result is what is called the "Tare" weight. That is the weight of the contents ONLY .And that would not be the mass of the substance,,,it would be the weight. Mass is a determination of how much space is taken up by the substance.
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.
