Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and remains constant regardless of location, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass and varies depending on the gravitational field strength. On the Moon (1.7 m/s²), an object will weigh less than on Earth (9.8 m/s²) due to the weaker gravity, but its mass remains unchanged. Similarly, on Venus (3.8 m/s²), the object will weigh more than on the Moon but still less than on Earth, again with its mass constant. Thus, as you travel between these celestial bodies, the object's weight changes while its mass does not.
