   "There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body 
   and is measured in kg, gm, etc. 
   Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg.    
   Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth, moon, etc."
