Measurement of Mass and Weight

Mass is the amount of matter in a body, and it is measured in grams or kilograms using a balance.

Weight is a measure of the amount of Earth's attraction to a body. It is different from mass because it varies depending on the gravitational force.

Weight on the moon is less than on Earth due to the Moon's weaker gravitational force.
