Well, mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object; weight is a measurement of how hard gravity is pulling on that object. Your mass is the same wherever you are--on Earth, ... But if you stay on Earth, gravity is always the same, so it really doesn't matter whether you talk about weight or mass.

Ask the experts your physics and astronomy questions, read answer archive, and more. ... That same one kilogram mass on the Moon, because of the Moon's lower mass, results in only about 1/3 pounds of mutual force. Just remember that the weight of an object depends on where it is, while its mass stays the same.

The same volume of two different substances, may have different weight and mass. Students in the third grade just have to understand that weight and mass are similar but not the same. Mathematical formulas can be used to distinguish the two easier, but not until a later grade!

The weight of the 100 kg man would be 980 Newtons on Earth, but it s 160 Newtons on the Moon! The mass, however, is 100 kg both places. Once the man gets going, its just as hard to stop him on the Moon as on Earth, and it s just as hard to get him moving, too.

In everyday situations, the weight of an object is proportional to its mass, which usually makes it unproblematic to use the same word for both concepts.

Mass and Weight ... The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg. Since the weight is a force, its SI unit is the newton. Density is mass/volume. ... The weight of mass kg is Newtons ; The weight of mass slugs is pounds...

We learn while shopping that 454 grams of cherries is the same as 1 lb of cherries. However, in the British system of units the ``pound'' is a unit of force that is used as the standard unit of weight (the related unit of mass is called the ``slug'', which is probably why the pound was adopted as the standard).
