Matter is everything that has mass and volume.

Mass is measured in grams or kilograms using balances and comparing it to standard masses.

Mass is the amount of matter in a body that does not change, while weight is a measure of the Earth's attraction to a body.

Weight is measured using a spring scale in units called newtons. Signup and view all the answers

Anything that has mass and volume.

Measured in grams or kilograms using balances by comparing to standard masses.

Mass is the amount of matter; weight is the Earth's pull on that matter.

Weight is a measure of the Earth's attraction to a body.
Weight varies on different planets and moons due to differences in gravitational forces.
Weight on the moon is less than on Earth because the Moon's mass is less than the Earth's mass.

Weight is measured using a spring scale.
Weight is measured in newtons (1 newton = the force of Earth’s attraction for a mass of approximately 1.1 kg).
