Have you ever thought what is the difference between mass and weight.
You will think mass is weight but you are wrong
❌.
Mass is amount of matter inside an object or contained by an object.
Si unit : kg
It's a scalar quantity.
Mass is constant to gravity.
Let's understand in depth
The molecules/matter inside an object is called mass.
It's a scalar quantity because matter can be anywhere in an object.
Example you are on moon the matter inside you will not fly it will not go so it's constant to gravity.
Weight is.........
Force the earth pull objects.
Si unit : mg
It's a vector quantity
Weight of the object will change.
It means
Due to this force we are attracted to gravity.
It has magnitude and direction it has direction because gravity is it's point.
Example you are on moon your weight will change because every celestial body has different gravity.
