Gunner Houston · Answer 1

Mass = is how big something is.

Weight = is how heavy something is.

They are different things because weight is talking about heavy ... not how big it is.

Helen Forbes · Answer 2

Mass is the measure of mutual gravitational pull to other bodies, or a fundamental property of an object. Weight is the measure of force on an object due to gravity.
