    Mass Weight
    Mass is simply the measure of the amount of matter in a body. Weight is the measure of the amount of force acting on a mass due to acceleration due to gravity.
    Mass is denoted by “M”. Weight is denoted by “W”.
    Mass = volume × density Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity
    Mass is a base quantity. Weight is a derived quantity.
    Mass only has magnitude and so, it a scalar quantity. Weight has both magnitude and direction (towards the center of gravity) and so, it is a vector quantity.
    The SI unit of mass is Kilogram (Kg). The SI unit of weight is Newton (N).
    Mass does not depend upon gravity and is constant everywhere. Weight is dependent on the gravity and so, it varies from place to place.
    Mass can never be zero. Weight can be zero where there is no gravity (like space).
    Mass can be easily measured using any ordinary balance like beam balance, lever balance, pan balance, etc. Weight can be measured by a spring balance or by using its formula.
