Mass is the quantity of matter in a body while weight is the pull of gravity on a body
Mass is measured in kilograms but weight is measured in newton’s
Mass is the same everywhere but weight changes from place to place
Mass is measured using a beam balance while wwight is Measured using a spring balance
Mass has magnitude only but weight Has both magnitude and direction
