Mass is the amount of matter an object contains, and it remains constant regardless of location. Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity acting on an object, so it varies depending on the gravitational pull at different locations.

How is mass and weight are different?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. Mass remains constant regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the strength of gravity.


Which will be different on the moon mass or weight?

Weight will be different on the moon as compared to Earth due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. Mass, however, remains the same regardless of location as it is a measure of the amount of matter an object contains.


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.


Are weight and mass the same measurement?

No. Weight is a force and is equal to an object's mass X acceleration due to gravity. My mass is the same on the Earth and on the moon but my weight is different because there is less gravity on the moon.


What two things have the same mass but different densities?

Objects with the same mass but different densities could be a piece of wood and a piece of metal. They can have the same weight when measured on a scale, but their volume and density would be different due to the difference in how tightly packed the molecules are in each material.
