No. Mass is a measure of the quantity of physical material that makes up an object, and weight is the measure of force exerted on an object in a gravitational field. One cubic meter of lead is weightless in the middle of outer space, but it would still take a certain amount of energy to change its motion. And it would take considerably more energy to change the motion of the cube than to make the same change in the motion of a penny.
No. The same mass (informally: "amount of substance") can have a different weight, depending on the gravity.

mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), whereas weight is the force exerted on an object by gravi

When an astronaut walks on the moon is either her mass or her weight the same as on earths?
The mass is the same; the weight is not.
How do you find the mass of an animal?
Basically by weighing it. Although mass is not the same as weight, if you know the weight and the gravity, you can calculate the mass.Basically by weighing it.

What changes with location mass or weight?
weight.. Mass always stays the same
Are the same tools used to measure weight and mass?
mass is measured with a balance comparing an unknown mass with an object of known mass. weight is not measeured with the same tools as mass.
Why will a person's mass never change whether they are on earth or on the moon?
Because mass is not the same as weight. Weight is mass times gravity so your weight will change if you are on the earth or moon but your mass will stay the same.
When are mass and weight the same?
Mass and weight are different notions in a correct physics terminology.
How the weight and the mass will change if a planet has gravity half as strong as Earth?
Mass remains the same; weight will be one half that of the same mass on earth.
Are weight and mass considered the same in outer space?
Absolutely not! Any body has the same mass anywhere. The weight of a body is the effect of gravity on the mass.
Would mass be more or less on the moon?
Mass is the same no matter where you are. Weight is less, but mass is the same.
What is the same thing as weight?
Mass.
Do mass and weight mean the same?
No
Is Mass the same thing as weight.?
No it is not.
