Difference Between Mass and Weight in Physics| Mass vs Weight

Mass Vs Weight in Physics

Mass: "Mass refers to the quantity of matter that an object contains, and is typically measured in units such as kilograms or grams. Unlike other properties, mass is intrinsic to the object and remains constant regardless of its location or any external influences."

Weight: "Weight is the gravitational force acting upon an object, and is typically measured in units such as newtons or pounds. Unlike mass, weight is a vector quantity and has a direction that is always towards the center of the earth. Weight varies depending on the object's location and the strength of the gravitational field, and is influenced by the object's mass and the strength of the gravitational force."

Mass	Weight
Mass is the amount of matter present in an object.	Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object.
Mass is a scalar quantity and has no direction.	Weight is a vector quantity and has a direction, which is always towards the center of the earth.
Mass is measured in kilograms or grams.	Weight is measured in newtons or pounds.
Mass is constant and does not change with location.	Weight varies with location and changes with the strength of the gravitational field.
The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).	The SI unit of weight is the newton (N).
Mass is an intrinsic property of an object and does not depend on external factors.	Weight depends on the gravitational force acting on an object, and therefore, it can change depending on the location.
