What’s the difference between mass and weight?

Mass is a measure of how much matter something has in it, measured in Kg, your current mass stays the same no matter where you are.Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, measured in N. Your weight can change if you’re somewhere with more or less gravitational force (I.e. another planet)
