Why is mass more useful than weight for measuring matter?
Also.. what property of matter is measured in cubic centimeters?

a) Ok, weight is force, force caused by gravity. Weight is /not/ a unit of mass. In S.I. units, force is measured in Newtons (N) and mass Kilograms (kg). Your weight in Newtons is the acceleration due to gravity times your mass in kilograms. Mathematically W=g*m.
b) Volume; anything that takes up 3-D space.
c) 1000 milliliters is 1 liter; 1/1000 of a liter is a milliliter. Also, 1 mililiter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter.

Weight changes depending on the gravity field. Mass doesn't change - it is a property of the item.
Volume is measured in cubic centimetres
There are 1000 mL in one litre
