It is not the same. Read the Wikipedia article on "mass versus weight" for a detailed discussion.

Is it true that the weight of a substance is defined as its mass divided by its volume?
This is false. For most practical purposes, ie 'on planet Earth,' the terms 'mass' and 'weight' mean the same thing. Off-planet, mass just equals mass, as weight is a function of gravity.
Gravity gives you your mass true or false?
False. You will have the same mass on our moon, but weigh 1/6th as much as on the Earth.
True or false an object buoyant force and weight arent the same thing?
Yes they are different things. Buoyant force is always upward. Weight is always downward. Also ... -- Weight depends on the object's mass. -- Buoyant force depends on its volume, and on what it's floating in.
True or false An object weight can change depending on gravity?
That is true! Weight is how much gravity is pulling on an object. For example, on the moon, an object will weigh about 6 times less than it does on Earth. Mass, on the other hand, stays the same ALL THE TIME, no matter where you are.
One way to increase the force used to pull a wagon is to decrease the mass in the wagon true or false?
False. Since Force=mass*acceleration, decreasing mass will increase acceleration for the same applied force.
Is it true On the moon your mass would be less than it on earth but your weight would be the same?
falseIt is false. Your weight would be less on the moon but your mass would be the same.

The weight of subtomic particles is measured in units called atomic mass units true or false?
Yes, true: the mass of 1 proton is exactly the same as of 1 neutron: 1 a.m.u.
Gravity gives you your mass true or false?
False. You will have the same mass on our moon, but weigh 1/6th as much as on the Earth.
Mass and weight are different words for the same property of matter?
False
Are Weight and mass are different words for the same property of matter?
False
On the moon would your mass be less that it is on Earth and your weight would be the same?
False
Is this true or false the weight of a person can change but the mass stays the same?
That is very true. The mass of something is definite, "the amount of stuff in an object"; However, the weight of something is the pull of gravity on an object. Someone or something's weight can change if, for example, they go to the Moon, or Mars, or any other celestial body with different levels of gravity.

True or false the mass of a proton is about one atomic mass unit?
False - an electron is about 1/1836 the mass of a proton.
Is it true or false places in the same hemisphere have the same seasons?
true
