mass vs. weight

mass part 1

• Mass is the SAME EVERYWHERE.  
• It is the same on earth as it is in outer space.
• Mass is measured on a balance.
• The object goes on the red container.

mass part 2

• Mass is how much stuff an object has.
• Example:
• A bowling ball and a soccer ball are the same size,
• but the bowling ball has a lot more mass then the other.

weight part 1

• Measured how hard gravity's pull on it. 
•  Depends on how much gravity is there.
• Can change depending on location.
• If the pull increase the weight does.
• If the pull decreases the weight does too. 

weight part 2

• Example: Weight is less on the moon then on Earth.
• Then in outer space you are almost nothing.
