Solution

Mass Weight
1.It is a measurement of how much matter is there in a body. 1.It is the measurement of the amount of force exerted on mass due to gravity's attraction.
2.Inertia is measured by mass. 2.The metric for force is weight.
3.A scalar quantity is mass. It is enormous. 3.It's a quantity with a vector. It has the right magnitude and points to the Earth's center or another point of gravity.
4.Gravitational effect of mass can never be zero. 4.Gravitational effect can be zero when no gravity is acting on it.
5.The kilograms is the SI unit of mass (kg). 5.Newton is the SI unit of weight.
