Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on that matter. The SI unit of Mass is Kilogram. Mass is measured using a pan balance. The SI unit of Weight is Newton. Weight is measured using a spring balance, which is a vector quantity. Mass is always a constant at any place and any time, which is a scalar quantity.
