उत्तर
Difference between mass and weight Mass and weight mean completely different things in physics. The amount of matter that an object contains constitutes its mass. The gravitational force acting on this mass is called the weight of the object.
Mass of an object always remains the same, while the weight of the object varies when it is subjected to different gravitational forces. For example, the weight of an astronaut on the earth is six times her/his weight on the moon as the gravitational force of the earth is six times more than the gravitational force of the moon. But the body mass of the astronaut remains the same in both places
