What is the difference between weight and mass?

• Weight is the amount of matter in an object, and mass is the gravitational force exerted on an object
• Mass is the amount of matter in an object, and weight is the gravitational force exerted on an object
• Weight is the amount of matter in an object, and mass is the size of an object.
• Weight is the size of an object, and mass is the amount of matter in an object

A planet moves fastest during its orbit around the Sun at the when 

• it is closest to the sun and gravity has a stronger pull
• it is farthest from the sun and gravity has a stronger pull
• it is closest to the sun and gravity has a weak pull
• it is farthest from the sun and gravity has a weak pull

If a feather and a hammer are dropped at the same time on the moon, where there is no atmosphere, which one will hit the ground first?

• Neither, there is no gravity on the moon.
• hammer because it has more mass
• feather because it has less mass
• both will hit at the same time
