This site goes in detail about it: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages… But it iiiis… Weight: the object’s force of gravity on it. (weight= massxacceleration of gravity) Mass: fundamental property of the object / fundamental measure of the amount of matter in the object. Weight is heavier than mass, for a calculator go here: http://www.convert-me.com/en/convert/wei… For a planetary weight/mass conversion go here: http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight… Hope I helped!

Mass is constant… it will not change Weight, on the other hand, is the force of gravity. It varies. For example, if you were to have an object on Jupiter, it would weigh waayy more but have the same mass.

Specifically, mass is related to the amount of force needed to change the speed or direction of an amount of matter. An object’s mass is the same no matter where in the universe it is. Weight is the effect of gravity on mass, which is why it differs between the earth and the moon.

weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object, and mass is how much matter there is in an object

Weight is force measured in Newtons. That is your mass x10. Your mass is how much matter in an object. Measured in kilograms.
