Your mass is how much matter you are made up of. Your weight is how much force you exert on your surroundings. If the force of gravity is greater or weaker, then your constant mass will exert more, or less force on the surroundings, ie, your weight will be different.

Why would your mass be the same on Earth and the Moon?

Mass is a measure of how much matter is in an object. This isn't going to change. You're not going to suddenly become a giant on the moon or shrink to the size of a mosquito out in space. Your mass stays the same - what is different is how gravity affects that mass to create what we call your weight.


How come weight varies but your mass stays the same?

your weight can change because of gravity but your mass has nothing to do with gravity it is the amount of matter that is in or makes up an object, just picture this you have a empty folder, it has mass and weight, then you put something in it the weight changes but the mass, or amount of matter that makes up the folder, has not changed
