Well, mass is a measurement of how much matter is in an object; weight is a
measurement of how hard gravity is pulling on that object. Your mass is the
same wherever you are--on Earth, on the moon, floating in space--because the
amount of stuff you're made of doesn't change. But your weight
depends on how much gravity is acting on you at the moment; you'd weigh less
on the moon than on Earth, and in interstellar space you'd weigh almost
nothing at
all.
But if you stay on Earth,gravity is always the same,so it really doesn't matter whether you talk about weight or mass.
But scientist still like to careful to be careful about distinguishing between the two.if you talk about the mass about the mass of an atom you're always talking about the same thing;if you talk about it's weight,what you mean depends on where the atom is.

Weight
|
Mass is the quantity of matter
|
Weight is force of attraction called gravitation
|
It is scalar quantity
|
It is vector quantity
|
It is remain constant every where
|
It is change with the change of gravitation force
|
It is denoted by m
|
It is denoted by w
It’s value is w =mg
|
It’s SI unit is kg
|
It’s SI unit is N
