(2) Mass is a scalar quantity. (2) Weight is a vector quantity and is always directed towards the center of the earth.

(3) Mass of a body is always constant every where in the universe. (3) Weight of a body vary place to place and become zero on the center of earth and far away from the surface of earth.

(4) Mass of a moving body is m=F/a. (4) Weight of a body is W = mg.

(5) Mass can be determine by an ordinary balance. (5) Weight of a body is measured by spring balance.

(6) Unit of mass in S.I system is KILOGRAM ( kg). (6) Unit of weight in S.I system is NEWTON (N).
