They differ by mass, electrical charge, dimensions, location in atom, type of qurks contained.
Atomic nuclei....Protons contain two up quarks and a down quark orbiting each other, and neutrons contain two down quarks and an up quark.
We can find atomic mass and mass number in chemical elements. Atomic mass is about weight of the atom. Mass number is about total of neutrons and protons.
All subatomic particles have mass.
as mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body
neutrons and protons
The proton and neutron
They differ by mass, electrical charge, dimensions, location in atom, type of qurks contained.
alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (helium nucleus) logically one neutron can not have a larger mass than two neutrons and two other subatomic particles of a similar mass

Protons and neutrons have near identical mass. One will not have to account for the difference in mass in most calculations.

Since the Earth is not a single atom, nor a collection of similar atoms, it does not have an atomic mass. Atomic mass is a measure of how much matter is contained by a specific atom.

No Gamma Rays do not have mass. All electromagnetic radiation has no mass.
The mass of an atom is contained primarily in its nucleus.
All subatomic particles have mass.
