The more mass, the heavier the object. With a nuetron star is so dense that a teaspoon would weigh at least a ton.

Similarities Between Mass And Weight
2016-11-16 12:57:17 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
Given that there is gravity and its value is the same,
mass and weight will help compare
heaviness between 2 objects
inertia between 2 objects
weight is more relative, depending on gravity
mass is more definite and does not depend on gravity

Mass exists in the absence of another gravitational body (like earth or mars). Weight does not.

i think mass is just a temporal factor
weight consists the whole object

mass is the amount of space taken by an object, thing, or creature. weight is the amount of gravitional pull that an object, thing or creature has. The more mass u have the more gravitational pull the object/thing/creature.

I was asked the same question fro my daughters homework.
I spent an hour on the internet you may find these articles helpful
Mass versus Weight
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How are weight and mass different?
To understand the differences we need to compare a few points:
1) Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.
2) Mass is measured by using a balance comparing a known amount of matter to an unknown amount of matter. Weight is measured on a scale.
3) The Mass of an object doesn't change when an object's location changes. Weight, on the otherhand does change with location.

If a cube has a mass of 90.91 kilograms and a weight of 200 pounds on Earth, what will its mass and weight be on another planet?
Base your answer on the gravity stated for each planet.
