The world has mass but no weight. Mass is a measure of quantity of matter, Weight is indicated by the pull on a mass in a gravitational field, or equivalently resistance to acceleration.

Compare and contrast mass and weight?
mass is how much matter is in an object and weight is the gravitational pull on an object mass x gravity = weight
Do weight and mass both depend on gravity?
No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.
How do you find the mass of an animal?
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

Does everything with mass have weight?
Weight= massxg. Therefor, according to the formula, everything having mass will also have weight.
Is the mass of body the same thing as the weight?
No. The weight is the mass times the acceleration. W=ma. The weight can be zero if the acceleration is zero, even if the mass is positive. Mass and weight are not the same thing.
Compare and contrast mass and weight?

Compare and contrast weight and mass?
Mass is the an object's resistance to a change in inertia. This is why, and I have no personal experience with this, large objects in space or the free fall of orbit are hard to move. Weight is the measured mass of an object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. 1 Newton = 1 Kilogram * 9.8 m/s^2 Weight = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Is mass and weight a force?
Mass and weight are not forces.But weight or a pull of gravity of an object with mass has force
Do weight and mass both depend on gravity?
No. Mass is independent of gravity, but weight is a function of gravity and mass.
Does air have weight?
Anything with mass has weight; air has mass, therefore it has weight.
Between mass and weight which is dependent on the other?
The weight is dependent on the mass. Mass is the same everywhere but since weight is mass * acceleration due to gravity, weight is the dependent variable.
How is measurment of weight different from measurement of mass?
Mass is the mass, weight is mass with gravity acting upon it

Will your and mass or weight change When you travel to Neptune?
Your mass will not but your weight will.
What do weight and mass measure?
weight and mass measures the volume
What are weight and mass measured in?
Weight in Newtons Mass in kilograms
What happens to weight as mass is increased?
As the mass increases, the weight also increases correspondingly as the weight is directly proportional to the mass
