What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass does not change no matter where it is in the universe, the weight of an object changes based on the gravitational force. An object will weigh more on earth than on the moon, because the earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon.

• Mass does change no matter where it is in the universe, the weight of an object changes based on the gravitational force. An object will weigh more on earth than on the moon, because the earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon.

• Mass does not change no matter where it is in the universe ,the weight of an object does not change either based on the gravitational force. An object will weigh more on earth than on the moon, because the earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon.

• Mass does change no matter where it is in the universe, the weight of an object does not change based on the gravitational force. An object will weigh more on earth than on the moon, because the earth has a greater gravitational pull than the moon.
