Well, mass has the following qualities:
Weight is different -- it is what you would think it is: how much pressure is being applied from a substance onto the surface it is standing or sitting on. Mass is confused with weight a lot because the measurement in grams of weight and mass is always the same, it's just that mass's definition is the amount of material in a substance, not how much pressure is being applied onto a surface from a substance. The weight of you depends on the gravity level, so the weight can change. The mass doesn't, but the measurement of the mass does (since the measurement symbol is technically a weight measurement symbol).
I understand if you're confused with this, because most people are the first time they hear about it (including me). So don't feel bad if you don't understand. You will eventually get it.

your mass is the quantity of matter inside your body. mass is measured in kg (kilogram)
weight is the force with which earth pulls you towards itself. as weight is force, it is measured in N (newton).
If you go to moon, your mass will remain the same, but weight will reduce, as moon has less gravity.
On earth,
weight (N) is around ten times mass (kg) of a person
Thus a person of 50 kg mass has a weight of around 500 N on earth
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the effect of the force of gravity on the mass of an object.
The difference between weight, OK say that your on the moon your weight is the same that it was on earth but your mass will be totally different then it was on earth.
yes, mass is the amount of stuff you are made of, it does not change, weight depends on the force of gravity, which is why you weigh less on the moon.
The mass of an object tells how much matter is present in the object. The weight tells how strongly gravity pulls it down.
Unit of measurement:Mass - grams (g) and kilograms (kg)Weight - newtons (N)
I do not know the answer.The difference between mass and capacity is that capacity is how much something can hold and mass is the weight of an object.
The mass is 64.44 grams. But the difference between mass and weight is that mass is weight is how heavy it is on the planet you weigh it on and mass it the weight it is on Earth, whether is is on Earth, or not.
The difference between a person's weight on the earth and on the moon has to due with the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter and weight is the pull of gravity on that mass. Gravity on the moon is about 83% that on earth, so if you weigh 100 lbs on earth, you will weigh approximately 17 lbs on the moon.

They are quite different things. The relationship between the two is: weight = mass x gravity.For more information about the difference between the two, check the Wikipedia article on "Mass versus weight".
Mass is the amount of "stuff" in an object or a region of space. Weight is the gravitational force between two masses. When you're talking about weight, the earth is usually one of the masses. Your mass never changes, regardless of where you are. Your weight does change, depending on what the other mass is.
Mass is the amount of matter or molecules that a specific object is composed of. Weight is the measure of gravity's pull on you. Does this help answer your question?
yes, mass is the amount of stuff you are made of, it does not change, weight depends on the force of gravity, which is why you weigh less on the moon.
The mass of an object tells how much matter is present in the object. The weight tells how strongly gravity pulls it down.
The difference between muscle mass and muscle hypertrophy is that muscle hypertrophy is the increase in size of skeletal muscle while muscle mass is the weight of your body muscle.
There is no difference between mass anywhere in the universe; it will always be a specific type of bonding between atoms anywhere it goes. However, weight may change due to different gravities on different planets
