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...

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

A truck full of cotton and steel can have same mass but they will weigh different. As mass is what an object is made of while Weight is how strong its pulled towards earth (or other object).
