What's the difference between mass and weight? Weight is the effect that gravity has on an object. Mass is the amount of matter in an object irrespective of the effect that gravity has on it. If you were to move a flagpole over to the Moon, its weight would be reduced roughly by 5/6, but its mass would stay the same.<ref>http://education.jlab.org/qa/mass_01.html</ref> | What's the difference between mass and weight?
