An object's mass remains unchanged everywhere while the weight of an object depends on gravity, it is a measurement of how much gravity has an impact on an object. Therefore, an object’s mass, rather than its weight is used to indicate the amount of matter it contains.

<h3>Why is an object's mass used to determine how much matter it contains rather than its weight?</h3>

  • Weight is not a measurement of how much matter something contains, but rather a force.
  • Depending on its location, the same amount of stuff can have a variety of weights.
  • No matter where it is measured, mass consistently expresses the amount of matter that is present. Because an object's mass will not vary if the force of gravity changes, unlike its weight.
  • Weight is a measurement of how much gravity has an impact on an object, whereas mass is the amount of substance (density) that an object possesses.
  • For instance, a person would weigh more on Earth than on the Moon due to Earth's greater mass and thus stronger gravitational force.
  • The amount of matter that makes up a body is measured by its mass.
