Mass and weight are the same thing.
*Mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is the measurement of matter within the object and weight is the force applied to the object from gravity. So, to answer your question a star would have much more mass than weight because there is very little gravity affecting the Sun.

What is 65.1 kilogram in weight?
65.1 kg is a measure of mass. The weight of an object with mass 65.1 kg will depend upon the force of gravity at the point where it is weighed. For example, on the moon it will weigh about a sixth as much as it would on earth, whereas on a neutron star it would weigh much much more.
Which star would live longer a star that has half the mass of the sun or a star that has 2 times the mass of the mass?
Stars with less mass live much longer. Stars with greater mass get hotter, and have more pressure in their core; as a result, they use up their fuel much faster.
Is it possible to make Jupiter a star if you applied more mass to it?
Jupiter has a mass of 0.001 Solar Masses. A star needs at least 0.1 Solar Masses, so if you multiplied Jupiter's mass by at least 100 it would become a star.
What makes a star's mass the most important parameter for predicting its future evolution?
If a star has more mass, there will be more gravitational attraction. The star's material will get closer together, and the star will have more temperature and more pressure.
What would happen if more mass was added to a 1.4-solar-mass neutron star?
Depends on the amount of mass that is added. In general it would probably either turn into a quark star, or if the mass is great enough a black hole.
How heavy is a pin head size neutron star?
It would not exist. A neutron star is what it is by virtue of the mass of the whole star. Extracting just a pinhead would revert that matter back to normal matter. For the sake of density - as weight has nothing to do with matter outside of a gravitational body. The denisty of a pinhead of neutron star would be the equivalant of about 100 times the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza
A very high mass star dies more violently than a low mass star?
Yes.
What is the relationship between mass and the end stages of stars lives?
The more mass a star has the less time it has to live or "be a star." The less mass a star has the longer it has to live.
What is heavier a star or a planet?
A star has more mass than a planet.
How long does the process of dying take for a star like our SUN?
That would depend on the size (mass) of the star. Please be more precise with your question for us to answer it.
What determines the evolution of a star?
The mass of a star affects the lifespan of the star. The less the mass, the longer life span of the star. More massive stars burn up their fuel more quickly than the smaller stars. As the massive stars begin to burn the fuel and become smaller, the life span increases.
If the mass of the star were doubledwhat effect would this have on the gravitional attraction between the star and planet?
It would make the gravity of the star have more power.As for your question, it all depends.If the planet was bigger than the star, the star would be pulled in gravatationally(if that's even a word).If the star were bigger than the planet, the planet would be pulled in.
