The video tutorial explains the difference between mass and weight. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in a body and is constant regardless of location, while weight is the force acting on a mass due to gravity and varies with location. Mass is a scalar quantity measured in grams or kilograms, whereas weight is a vector quantity measured in Newtons. The video also covers the properties, types, and units of mass and weight, and concludes with a reflection prompt and an inspirational quote by Albert Einstein.
