      Weight measures how heavy something is 
       Force / Acceleration = Mass   OR  Mass is the amount of space something takes.

        Mass is the amount of matter contained in the body


        But the weight is the force by which the earth attracts the body towards itself


        i.e. Weight = Force of gravity = mass × acceleration due to gravity.


        Now share the idea with your friends.
