What is the difference between mass and weight? Mass depends on the force of gravity weight is always the same, mass is the same everywhere weight depends on the force of gravity, Mass depends on location weight depends on the force of gravity, mass measures the force of gravity weight measures matter,
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is a measure of its inertia. It is the same everywhere and does not change. Weight, on the other hand, is the force with which an object is pulled towards the center of the earth due to gravity. It varies with the strength of the gravitational field, so an object will weigh less on the moon compared to on Earth. Thus, mass depends on the amount of matter in an object, while weight depends on the force of gravity acting on that object.
