Mass:

• Defines the amount of matter in an object.

• Measured in kilograms, independent of location.

• A wooden block on Earth and on the moon has the same mass.

Weight:

• Measures the gravitational force exerted on an object.

• Weight changes depending on location and gravitational force strength.

W = m x g

Weight (N) = mass (kg) x gravitational force ( Earth: 9,8 Moon: 1,62)
