Differences between mass and weight.

The differences between mass and weight are as follows :-

Mass	Weight
The amount of matter contained in a body is called its mass.	The force with which a body is attracted toward the centre of a celestial body is called weight of the body at that place.
Mass of a body remains constant.	Weight of a body varies with place.
Mass is a fundamental quantity.	Weight is a derived quantity.
Mass is a scalar quantity.	Weight is a vector quantity.
Mass of a body can’t be zero.	Weight of a body can be zero.
Mass is measured using beam balance.	Weight is measured using spring balance or top balance.
S.I. unit of mass is Kg.	S.I. Unit of weight is Newton (N).
CGS unit of mass is gram.	CGS unit of weight is dyne.
