What is the difference between mass and weight?

This lecture is about "Mass and Weight" and the difference between mass and weight.

Q: What is Mass?
Ans: In Physics, mass is defined as the amount of matter present in a body. Mass measures that how much matter is present in a body.
For example, If there are two cups of sugar with different amount of masses. Let the mass of one cup is 2Kg and the mass of another cup is 4Kg. Here, the mass of 4Kg is greater than the mass of the 2Kg cup, because the amount of sugar or the amount of matter in 4Kg cup is greater than the amount of sugar or the amount of matter in 2Kg cup.

Q: What is Weight?
Ans: Weight is a force between any object and the Earth. One can say that weight is the force of the Earth due to which objects fall or accelerates towards the Earth surface.
For example, If you raise an object above the earth surface and release it from a certain height, the object will accelerate with constant acceleration or acceleration due to gravity towrds the earth.
