Weight is the gravitational force that acts on the object. Newton (N)
Unit SI
The gravitational force of the Moon is one sixth of the gravitational force of the earth.
10 N 60 N Moon
Earth
Other planets depends on its gravitational force Mass is constant in any places

Definition
Mass is the quantity of matter that is present in the object Characteristic: constant at all places not influenced by gravitational force Unit SI kilogram (kg) Other Units milligram (mg) gram (g)
1 kg = 1000 g 1 g = 1000 mg
Lever Balance
Electronic Balance
MASS
Not influenced by gravity Constant, does not depend on where it is measured
