mass = the amount of matter, independant of gravity and in sci units measure in kg's
weight= force, the downward pull on an object due to gravity, measure in N (newtons)

Mass is the measurement of how much "stuff" is in an object. It is not dependent on the gravitational pull.
Weight is a force. According to Newton, F=ma where m is the mass and a is the acceleration. The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 meters per second squared.
So to answer your question, weight is mass x gravity.

Mass of a body is all because of its internal contents.It produces the INERTIA in a body. While weight is the measurement of the force by which a body supresses a other body. This is equal to the product of the mass and the the value of "g" at that place.

Mass is related to weight because... the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force would be applied to the object... and the weight depends on the gravitational force...

mass is the actual content in the body.
when mass is multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity it gives weight, which is the force exerted

Weight = Mass / Density
weight is equal to mass of a body divided by its density.

mass is the amount of substance.
weight is the force of gravity exerted on that mass.
