MASS
- It doesn’t depend on the gravity acting on the object.
- The amount of matter an object contains.
- It’s measured in grams or kilograms.
WEIGHT
- It depends on the gravity acting on the object.
- It’s the force of gravity on an object.
- It’s measured in Newtons (N).
The confusion is because gravity is pretty much the same everywhere on Earth, we don’t notice a difference.
