The video tutorial explains the difference between mass and weight. Mass is defined as the measure of matter within an object, while weight is the measure of gravity's pull on that matter. The tutorial highlights that weight changes with location due to varying gravitational forces, such as on the moon, whereas mass remains constant. It uses examples like a bowling ball in space to illustrate these concepts and discusses inertia's dependence on mass rather than weight.
