Mass is the amount of substance inside a body it is generally measured in Kg/gm etc. Weight is the defined as mass X gravitational force , Which means when mass is pulled by gravity it becomes weight of body. Note* Mass of the body/object is constant through out the Universe , where as the weight will change according to value of Gravitational force. Example suppose your mass is 10 KG so your weight on Earth will be 10 x 9.807 kg, where as at Moon your weight will be 10 X 1.622 Kg , (1.622 and 9.807 are gravitational force of planets). When mass is multiplied with Gravitational Force it becomes weight. read less
