Answer 1

Mass is how much stuff a thing has (or is).

The stuff in things pulls at other things’ stuff.

Weight is how much pull a really big thing (like the Earth) has on a smaller thing on it (like you).

Mass doesn’t change, but the smaller thing’s weight changes if you change the bigger thing (like go to the Moon).
