What is Weight/Mass?
Weight is an object's relative mass and the force of gravity on an object. NASA explains that weight/mass is the force generated by the gravitational attraction of the earth.
Because the mass of an object is really the force of gravity on it, the mass of an object will be the same everywhere on Earth. In space objects are weightless and the mass of an object on another planet with a different gravitational force will be different.
Scales are instruments that measure weight and vary in size from fitting into your pocket to being larger than a semi truck. Common measures of weight are tons, pounds, ounces, and grams. Tons, pounds, and ounces are US customary and imperial units of mass, while kilograms, grams, and other multiples of the gram are metric units of mass.
