Only if they are in the same inertial frame of reference.
On Earth if a) has a mass of 60kg and b) has a mass of 10kg - then a) would weigh more.
If a) was on the Moon and b) stayed on Earth then they would both weigh the same.
If b) decided to go to the Sun, then b) would weigh more than a).
Mass stays the same no matter where you are. Your weight is deduced by the amount of "pull" gravity has on you.

In mass and weight what is less than one?
Mass is the amount of matter. Weight had to do with gravity. Weitht is the force of gravity on mass. Some times we use gravity to measure mass such as a spring scale. That does not mean that gravity and mass are the same thing.
Which has more mass a blimp or a silver dollar?
If by a blimp you mean a dirigible then a blimp has more mass.
Whatwas the weight of Sputnik-1?
I shall assume you mean mass. 83.6Kg. or 184.3Lb.
How would your weight change if the Earth tripled in size and mass?
You would be weightless since you would be in space. the distance to the center of the Earth is about 4k miles.
Is the mass of an object more on the moon?
No. The mass of an object does not change. However and object's weight, which is a function of mass and gravity, is less on the moon than on earth.
What does it mean to say mass and weight are proportional to each other?
It means that although they are not equal, there is a correlation between them, e.g., mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.
How do weight and mass relate to each other?
Mass directly affects weight. If an object has more mass, it will weigh more.
Why is mass more useful than weight for measuring?
Because is mass is more accurate than weight.
Do mass and weight mean the same?
No
Does mass and weight mean the same thing What does mass and weight in similar?
Mass and weight are similar because they are directly proportional to one another. Mass is the measure of matter within an object, and weight is the force with which gravity pulls down on that mass. If the mass is great, the force pulling on it is great.
What one has more mass an atom of gold or lead?
The atomic weight/mass of Lead is 207.19 --- --- --- The atomic weight/mass of Gold is 196.96655 --- --- --- --- --- --- Therefor Lead has more mass.
What does mass mean in the metric system?
Weight Technically mass is a body's resistance to acceleration. That means that the greater the mass of a body, the greater the force needed to start or stop it moving. In everyday language mass is referred to as weight, but weight is the force acting on a body, due to gravity normally, and is measured in newtons, mass is measured in kilograms.
Do mass and weight mean the same thing?
No
If something has more weight then does it have more mass?
This is a tricky question. Weight is the affect that gravity has on a mass, but gravity is relative to where the object is. This can be observed on Earth by traveling to different elevations and weighing yourself. At the same elevation on any body with a gravitational force, an object with more mass will weigh more. Mass causes weight, weight does not cause, nor always predict mass.
How to calculate weight of Expandable Polystyrene Thermocol if density is given?
density= mass/ volume (if you want the weight then you have to multiply the mass by 9.8, however I am sure that you mean the mass. Mass= kg, Weight= Newtons)
What do you mean by increasing the mass of the object?
Increasing the mass of an object means adding more material to it. For instance, you could increase the mass of a pillow by adding more feathers to the stuffing. On Earth, where the gravitational constant is 9.8 m/s2, adding mass is roughly equivalent to adding weight. However, in physics, weight is a force and mass is a measure of quantity.
Does mass mean the same as gravity?
no gravity is a force mass is the same as weight
