The difference between mass and weight causes a lot of confusion amongst a lot of people. Put simply, weight is a measure of gravity's effect on something. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Move to a different planet and an object's weight will change, but its mass will be the same.

Once there was a device that could measure weight, there needed to be a standard weight to use. People knew that any object used as a standard could not change in basic size or shape from place to place. The first known standard weight object was a grain of wheat.
